Volair Mach 2 Forza Paddle Review

Volair is back at it with the new Mach 2 Forza. This thermoformed paddle comes in both a 14mm and 16mm thickness. The Mach 2 is the traditional shape while the Mach 1 is the elongated version. This Mach 2 Forza sports Toray T700 carbon fiber that is as gritty as any paddle we have […]

Review: Selkirk Vanguard Control

The Vanguard Control is the latest paddle from Selkirk. The paddle is 16mm thick and comes in a charcoal gray color. They borrowed the X5+ Core from project 006, along with the QuadCarbon technology on the face, and have created one of the most comfortable paddles we have ever played with. This is a control […]

Review: ProXR Zane Navratil Signature

This is a look at the ProXR Zane Navratil Signature paddle. The base model of this paddle is called “The Standard” and what is different about Zane’s model is that it has a longer handle (6″ as opposed to 5.25″) and it only comes in 14 mm, where the standard is both 14 and 16mm. […]

Review: Selkirk Luxx Control Air

Selkirk is at it again, this time taking their Project 003 and somehow improving upon it for the launch of the Luxx Control Air. This paddle doesn’t just look great, it plays even better.

Franklin’s FS Tour series […]

Adidas Metalbone Paddle Review

The Adidas Metalbone is unlike any paddle we have played to date. The first thing you will notice is the weight and balance system. This is a innovative approach to building a self regulating system into the paddle itself to manage the weight distribution of the paddle. There are two screws and three holes on […]

Review: Paddletek Bantam ALW-C

It feels like it’s taken Paddletek a very long time to get into the raw carbon fiber game, but they have finally made the leap. And it was worth the wait, especially because the wait was warranted. They sourced raw carbon fiber that is made in America! And not only that, they found a way […]
