Combining Will's playing expertise and Brian's industry experience, they created their high-performance flagship paddle, the Spade.

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.
