Summary

The Volair Ctrl 2 Forza is a wide-body pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar face material is less common than graphite or fiberglass. Its 8-ounce weight is considered lightweight. The 5.5-inch grip is standard length. With a swing weight of 108, it is considered relatively low, likely making it easy to maneuver. The paddle has a 21st percentile swing weight and a 92nd percentile twist weight (7.17). The high twist weight suggests good stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is 6.4 out of 10, placing it in the 42nd percentile. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing control and maneuverability, potentially including beginners or those with shorter swings. The light weight and wide face could offer advantages in quick exchanges at the net. However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle less suitable due to its lower swing weight.
