GAMMA Airbender: Advanced Design for Every Play Style

When choosing a pickleball paddle, the right design and materials can make a big difference in your performance. The upgraded Airbender paddles, available in three models – RCF Airbender 10, RCF Airbender 13, and RCF Airbender 16 – are built to meet the needs of players who want more speed, control, and comfort. With features inspired by aerodynamics and premium materials like Toray T700 carbon fiber, the Airbender paddles are made to help you play your best. Let’s break down what makes these paddles stand out on the court.

One of the standout features of the Airbender paddle is its dimpled, edgeless design. Just like a golf ball’s dimples reduce drag and help it fly farther, this design helps the paddle move more smoothly through the air. By reducing wind resistance, the paddle allows for faster swings and more control over your shots. Whether you’re hitting quick volleys at the net or driving the ball from the baseline, the design helps you react quickly and play with precision.

The Airbender paddles also come with two throat holes designed to reduce air resistance, which leads to faster swings. One of these holes is filled with our Shockbuster™ insert, a vibration dampener similar to what you would use in a tennis racquet. This feature reduces the vibrations from each hit, making the paddle more comfortable to use, especially during long games.

For players who like to fine-tune their equipment, the Airbender paddles offer a high level of customizability. In addition to the Shockbuster™ insert that comes with the paddle, you can also purchase weighted Shockbuster™ kits and end cap weights, which are sold separately. These allow you to adjust the balance of your paddle according to your playing style. Want a heavier paddle for more power or a different balance for better control? With these customization options, you can tailor your paddle to meet your exact preferences, giving you greater control over your game. 

At the core of each Airbender paddle is the Toray T700 carbon fiber hitting surface. Known for its strength and durability, this material offers powerful, controlled shots that will last through intense play. Whether you’re playing casually or in competition, you can count on this carbon fiber to provide the same reliable performance game after game.

The Airbender paddles are built using thermoformed construction, which makes the paddles strong and durable while maintaining their shape over time. This process adds structural integrity, allowing the paddle to maintain its performance even with heavy use.

Another key feature is the foam-filled edges, which add more than just comfort. These edges increase the paddle’s twist weight. A higher twist weight means the paddle is more stable, especially on off-center shots. This translates to fewer mishits and more reliable performance, giving you consistent results even when you don’t hit the sweet spot.  

The Airbender paddles comes in three thickness options, designed for different styles of play:

• RCF Airbender 10: At 10 mm thick, this paddle is ideal for players who prioritize speed and pop. Its slim profile allows for quick swings and strong, fast-paced shots.

• RCF Airbender 13: The 13 mm option balances power and control, making it versatile for both aggressive and defensive play. It’s a great choice for players who want to switch easily between styles.

• RCF Airbender 16: The 16 mm model provides extra control. It’s perfect for players who value precision and accuracy at the net while still providing power to full

The Airbender paddles combine smart design with premium materials to give you more control over your game. The aerodynamic features, vibration dampening, and customization options make these paddles a solid choice for any player. Whether you prefer power, precision, or a mix of both, there’s an Airbender model for you.
