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
Great Choice

Got this paddle a few weeks ago after playing with a Gamma Typhoon for the last year. It has lived up to its reputation. It’s a joy to play with. Definitely provides the control I was looking for.
Perfect paddle!

If I could give this paddle more than 5 stars I would. I was shocked at how my game changed for the better playing with this paddle.
Gamma Airbender is an excellent paddle!

Purchased the paddle a little under a month ago and have used it 3-4 times a week since plus drills at home on my dink master. I absolutely love the fact that i can create my own personal feel with the shockbusters and end cap weights. I now have the perfect paddle for me. I can control exactly where i want the ball to go along with more than enough power for myself. Couldnt be happier with my purchase and ill be in the Gamma family for a long time!
Love this paddle!

I love the way this paddle plays. It has just the right amount of touch and power I like. Although it has two interchangeable weights, I chose to play with the weights it came with and not purchase more. The only down side I can see is that the handle is white. It looks great, but it gets dirty quickly. I have only played with the paddle for two weeks so I have no idea how it will hold up, but I tend to buy a new paddle every year so if it makes it that far, I will be happy.

Paddle hits ok, however pretty annoyed with the rubber pieces (I guess they are some sort of weights) they come off pretty easy, one ended up on my girls paddle inside the bag , the other on the bottom of the bag, lol, I noticed they become lose while I’m playing, and find myself pushing them in , perhaps it’s something only on my paddle, but I wish I would’ve gotten the model without the rubber pieces
definitely upped my game

first play, I lost 9 of 10 games. came to figure out the swing weight was considerably less due to the aerodynamics of the paddle with the venting. I had removed the gel pad because it wasn't doing anything for me except deadening it a little. 2-3 play events, began to pick up. 4th and 5th play events I was winning 9 of 10 or 10 of 10 games. Don't even try to take it away from me now. once I got used to the swing weight and new swing speed, I found I had far better control. lovin the paddle.
