The elongated 16.375 x 7.375 inch shape gives reach, and the thick core makes the touch soft in the short game. It weighs 8.3 oz on average, has a 5.75-inch handle with a 4 1/8 grip and molded foam, and a weight system in the handle to adjust the feel. The raw carbon face generates good spin and the edge has protection. Price shown at the store This store only shows the price on its own site.

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. ## Videos The Lab at Pickleball Central: GAMMA Obsidian Paddle Review PickleballCentral · in English Videos from independent channels, shown for reference only.
