Gamma
RCF-Obsidian 16
Elongated16mmGen 2
The Gamma RCF-Obsidian 16 is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (8th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
