If you liked the first iteration of the Obsidian but felt like you were searching for more stability and additional pop, then the GAMMA RCF Obsidian 10mm Pickleball Paddle may just be for you. This paddle maintains its elongated 16 3/8” overall shape and 5 3/4” handle that encourages powerful play, but adds foam to the handle so that, whether you use it with one hand or two, you will receive solid feedback without too much vibration. This paddle also utilizes a foam edgewall around the super poppy 10mm honeycomb core to add plow through ability, expand the sweet spot, and further limit vibrations to help you harness the ample power
The 7 3/8” wide Toray T700 Carbon Fiber hitting surface proves to provide a nice complement to the shape and core of the GAMMA RCF Obsidian 10mm Pickleball Paddle. This naturally textured rigid surface offers dwell time and texture for spinning shots, energy return for even more power, and plenty of longevity so that you can trust it from slam 1 to slam 100. The gentle curve and tapered shape of this paddle further adds power by creating a consistent sweet spot and increased swing speed to go with the appealing visual. Adjustable weights in the butt of the handle allow you to find your desired feel.
If you like the sound of this paddle but don’t want all of the power, then check out the RCF Obsidian 13mm or 16mm versions.
