Shift Hybrid

Hybrid14mmGen-4Thermoformed

The Volair Shift Hybrid is a 14 mm hybrid pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates above-average spin (61th percentile) with elite power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus well above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's an aggressive, high-firepower build for players chasing put-away power.
