There is nothing wrong with this paddle except for the fact I don't like it. It has a ton of control and plays soft. For someone this will be the perfect paddle, however it doesn't suit my play. The quality and feel is great, this paddle just isn't for me. Going back to my trusty Obsidian.
Love the Power and control

Love the Power and control of the paddle. I do recommend getting an edge guard to protect the ceramic sides! Great job Gamma
Pleased with my Pickle Paddle.

Had been looking for a new paddle as I’ve grown more confident in my game and wanted one with which to progress. Very happy with the styling, weight and the way it feels in my hand. Like the optional extra weight in the handle too, gives me a bit more ‘oomph’ in serving and more controlled and precise returns.

This paddle is an absolute game changer. I am enjoying every single minute with it. A friend of mine had one and we played together and I loved the sound that it made when the ball hit it. I ordered straight from Gamma because they had the 30 day trial period, and there is no way I would send this back. It's a beast I know, but I absolutely love it.

So much control with this very thick paddle. Was not sure I was originally going to like it. However I kick ? rear with it once I had a few games under my belt!
Great Paddle with configuration options

I’ve tried a number of paddles over the last year… From CRBN, Pickleball Apes and Honolulu. All of them were solid offerings…. But when I tried a demo of the Airbender 16 at my local club, I knew I had found my paddle. It has great control out of the gate and the weight system (optional) helps you dial it in even further if you feel you need to. The best thing I can say is that I have more shots in my bag when this paddle is in my hand than I ever had before- especially softer shots at the kitchen. I highly recommend checking this paddle out!

Upgrade from Compass to Airbender

I bought the Airbender after my Gamma Compass broke. I like the feel of the paddle & my drop shots seem to hit the mark more. My drives are more controlled & accurate. The handle fits well and I’m experimenting with the throat inserts …. apparently one fell off during play & I didn’t notice which is unfortunate so I’m using the heavier ones. I think you’ll enjoy using this and I’m happy with my purchase.
Is this the perfect pickleball paddle?

I tried over 50 paddles from big brands to niche small ones and by far and away Gamma's Airbender was the best paddle I found for 3 reasons: 1.) the open throat design and weight distribution makes my hands 20% faster 2.) It doesn't wear out after three months like other paddles and 3.) it's super thin and edgeless construction and having come from tennis I like that it reminds me of tennis racquet. Also, I have been using the shock buster in the throat and it's crazy how much harder you hit the ball with weight in the throat--such a cool concept.
Great paddle - don’t like white color on handle

I love Gamma paddles, but I wish the grip was black or gray. The white grip looks great for a day, but gets dirty quickly and looks awful after a month of use.
Great value and quality

Like the new design and surface. Took me a few game to adjust from my old paddle but I would recommend this paddle for sure. Great value as other companies paddles are skyrocketing in price.
Next level paddle to improve your game.

I love this paddle as it comes, such a game-changer. The paddle feels great and performs with the best. I love the option to be able to upgrade with the shockbuster weights and grip weights.
Don’t buy this.

Not a great paddle - 1 year ago

Don’t be fooled. Terrible product. I bought 1 it was broken. Got a replacement and it was broken at the handle. Then they did send another I took pics etc the new one it cracked on the edges after maybe 6 uses. I have a friend who bought one and hers is cracked in half. Too many good paddles out there. They need to get this one fixed and pull it so they can sell a better product
