Atomic 5.0 Gamma

Pickleball· Atomic

GoodUpdated on 2026-10-05

The Gamma Atomic 5.0 has a wide 16 x 8 in face, in fiberglass with a microsphere textured surface, which increases spin, and a thinner 14 mm polymer core, for more power. The wide face gives plenty of surface on defense, and the Honeycomb grip dampens and holds well. It weighs 8.1 oz (229 g), has a 5 in handle and a 4 1/4 in circumference and suits beginners to intermediates.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%64
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
