# Mach 1 Forza 16mm Volair

Pickleball · Mach

RR Score 80 out of 100, Very good Very good Updated on 10/03/2026

The Mach 1 Forza 16mm is Volair's most popular elongated paddle, known for its raw carbon face with a high-spin texture. It has a 16 mm honeycomb core, the version the brand says is the most sought after because it is a bit softer than the 14 mm. The measured weight is around 8.19 oz, the handle is 5.5 inches and the grip circumference is 4.15 inches. The elongated shape gives reach and acceleration, and the combination of spin and control appeals to players who like to build the point.

**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.
