Volair
Shift EL 14
Elongated14mmGen 4
The Volair Shift EL 14 is a 14 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates below-average spin (35th percentile) with elite 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 an aggressive, high-firepower build for players chasing put-away power.
