Volair is fueled by a deep passion for pickleball, driving their mission to create the best gear in the sport. Committed to industry-leading quality, Volair designs products that stand out—bold, different, and loud, built for players who want to make a statement on the court. Co-founded by professional pickleball player Julian Arnold, Volair paddles, like the Mach 1, are crafted with hands-on expertise to meet the demands of high-level play. Whether you're a pro or aspiring to be one, Volair is here to elevate your game.

Why Our Favorite?

The Mach 1 FORZA is at a good price point for a thermoformed paddle. If you prefer elongated, they've got the Mach 2 FORZA. These feel like similar paddles to the Six Zero DBD. Both great paddles & at similar price points.
