RCF Airbender 16mm Paddle

Packed with innovations sure to draw attention, the GAMMA RCF Airbender 16mm Pickleball Paddle offers a fantastic balance of control, spin, power, and precision that helps players feel in control of the game point after point. Immediately, GAMMA's innovative approach to an open throat design on this 16.5" long paddle caught our eye. There are two openings, the smaller of which arrives plugged with a 7 gram (0.25 oz.) shock-absorbing weight. Remove this plug to drop the paddle's static weight to about 8.25 oz. (on average), or leave it in place to gain all the benefits of its vibration-mitigating materials and the full plow-through ability of the Airbender's 8.5 oz. (+/- 0.2 oz.) static weight. Plus, GAMMA offers an RCF Airbender Weighted Shockbuster Kit which provides three more weight options. Finally, the handle's end cap is removable, enabling players to further customize their Airbender by adding end cap counter-weights. So many features! The vibration-reducing foam-molded 5-3/8" long handle of the Airbender 16 from GAMMA Pickleball works in conjunction with the injected foam around the outer edge of the 16mm (0.63") thick polypropylene honeycomb core to help add stability, consistency, increased twist weight, and plow-through ability with every strike. The thick core provides a supple, controllable feel to every drop shot and mid-court reset, while working to keep your dinks low. To complete the package, a 7-3/8" wide Toray T700 Raw Carbon Fiber (RCF) hitting surface provides dwell time that allows you to utilize the carbon's natural texture to impart spin, while also helping you play in control with strategic precision. The perforated and cushioned GAMMA Honeycomb Grip offers ample moisture control for your hands, too, so you can battle on the court all day long. Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
