Elongated13mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Gamma Obsidian 13 is a 13 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Toray Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (11th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
