The Gamma RCF Obsidian utilizes the same elongated shape as the prior prior Gamma Obsidian, but updates the surface with Toray 700 Raw Carbon Fiber (RCF) while also improving the construction thanks to a thermoformed design. Ranging in weight from 7.9 8.3 oz, for more paddle agility or stability Gamma also makes the RCF Obsidian in 10mm, 13mm and 16mm core width options. The thinner 10mm. polypropylene core unleashes the most pop (core-based power), with the 13 and 16mm. examples conserving power with a little more core-based control. Further enhancing the RCF Obsidian s all-court playability is the option to customize with Specifically Weighted End Caps. Without having to strip the grip off the handle, one can purchase Gamma s weighted end caps and easily tailor the weight and balance of the RCF Obsidian to best suit their on-court strategies. Balancing out the power and level of precision with next level comfort is the use of a molded handle, along with foam filled edges around the core s perimeter, the latter of which also serves to increase the size of the paddle s sweet spot. Whether you prefer to use more weight or core based power from the baseline, Gamma provides enough room on the handle to chip and charge your way to the kitchen using one or two hands on its 5.75 in. length. No doubt, between the stock performance that is packed in to the Gamma RCF Obsidian, along with core width choices, and ability to easily customize, there is a version that will complement any skill level, and style of play.
