RLD 1-16
Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Reload RLD 1-16 is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates below-average spin (42th 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.
