Gamma pushes the limits of pickleball paddle innovation, versatility, and performance with their RCF Airbender! Most of the Airbender’s easily accessed and manageable power is derived from its elongated 16.5 length, and hefty 8.5 oz. average weight. And with that extra paddle length comes a longer 5.75 in. handle, which is perfect for controlling the action using one or two hands on the Airbender. RCF stands for its Raw Carbon Fiber surface, which along with the Airbender's 16mm. polypropylene core renders A+ shot precision, spin potential, and paddle comfort. One of the unique aspects of the RCF Airbender are the two small ports in the throat area of the paddle which affords increased air flow, and as a result makes it a faster, easier to swing paddle. Another is that the larger port functions as location for using Gamma’s aftermarket weight kit, which comes with 3 different specifically weighted plugs, and dampens vibration while adding power. Included with the purchase of an RCF Airbender, are 3 differently weighted end caps, allowing a player to dial in their ideal paddle weight and balance. Intermediate to advanced level players, who want a professional quality all-court capable paddle, with the option to easily modify, look no further than the Gamma RCF Airbender paddle.
