Volair Mach 1 Forza 16 Pickleball Paddle
Overview
Searching for a high quality, tour tested, all-court paddle with a lean towards controllable power? This is the Volair Mach 1 Forza 16! Driven by one the most gifted players on the PPA and MLP Tour Julian Arnold helped test and develop this paddle from day one. Power is awarded to the player from the Mach 1 Forza s 8.2 oz. average weight, 16.5 in. overall length, with the 16mm. Polypropylene Core being a little less lively than the 14mm. model. In addition, Volair's switch to a Thermoformed Uni-Body construction not only improves the Forza s durability, but also refines the return of energy, delivering long-term tip-to-grip performance. Foam-Injected edge walls, around the perimeter of the core, enhances sweet spot size and paddle stability. Scalpel like precision, and easy access to spin, is on tap with a T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face and 16mm. core. The Mach I Forza's 5.5 in. handle length furthers control, making points easier to dictate and finish on your terms, using one, or two hands, with a 4.125 in. grip size being suitable for most players.
