Heavyweight/Small Grip

GAMMA Shard Graphite Pickleball Paddle

The Shard Graphite Paddle uses a wide face and 25% thicker polymer NeuCore technology to provide a gentle yet responsive feel. With plenty of surface area, players can use the face to easily block slams and redirect shots as needed. The graphite face is lightly textured to provide more spin while still falling within USAPA guidelines. The polymer core makes use of the large cells to help disperse energy and reduce noise.

The Shard Graphite Paddle weighs approximately 7.75 oz and has a reliable level of power despite its soft touch. Its handle is 4.75" long with a small grip. The grip itself has perforations to draw moisture away from the hand in addition to adding a few extra pops of color. The paddle's background has a stippled look to it with the Gamma logo in the upper right corner. On the left is a series of geometric shapes in complementary colors.

The Shard Graphite Paddle gives players the control needed to play with consistency until they can find openings to win point after point.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".

    Great all-round paddle for power and control. The best paddle I've owned yet, highly recommend it.

    Control of the shot is very good, power is good as well. So far very pleased with the performance.

    Since this is now my 5th GAMMA paddle, it should be evident that I love their paddles. My 4th and 5th paddles have been the Shard. My favorite part of this paddle (and all GAMMA paddles) is the grip. The Shard is an all around comfortable and solid paddle. Whether one looks for power or control, I have discovered that you get both with this paddle. I give this Shard Paddle a 5 star rating.

    Very nice looking paddle. It seems to be well made. I wish the grip came in larger sizes, but I can build up the grip to my liking. It’s not as soft feeling given the larger core. I’m comparing it to the Prolite Black Diamond Supernova.

    The paddle is very responsive. It has a soft feel and allows the ball to "stay" on the paddle longer to increase control of your shots. It provides enough "pop" to put shots away but it's greatest strength is in the soft game. I have had 7 or 8 paddles; the Gamma Shard is the best one so far.
