Volair CMD HYB 16mm Hybrid Pickleball Paddle

Finding the right balance between reach and quick handling is what makes the Volair CMD Hybrid 16mm standout. Its 16.25in x 7.75in hybrid shape gives us extra coverage on volleys without feeling cumbersome during fast exchanges at the kitchen. Add a 5.6in handle for two-handed backhands, and we have a paddle built for a versatile, attacking game.

Developed alongside pro player Dylan Frazier, the CMD introduces a patent-pending Channel Core built around floating EPP foam surrounded by EVA foam. Carefully positioned channels allow the face to flex around contact, creating a softer, more connected response that helps us manage incoming pace and shape controlled shots. Additional channels lower on the face help stabilize mishits, keeping the sweet spot more consistent when contact drops below center. The T700 carbon fiber hitting surface is backed by a multi-layer carbon fiber and fiberglass construction and finished with licensed HexGrit technology for lasting surface texture and spin. This combination of technologies is designed to pocket the ball on drops and resets without feeling sluggish when it's time to accelerate through a drive or counter, allowing us to trust this paddle anywhere on the court.
