Gamma
RCF-Obsidian 13
Elongated13mmGen 2
The Gamma RCF-Obsidian 13 is a 13 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (6th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but below-average twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
