The Gamma RCF Obsidian utilizes the same elongated shape as the prior prior Gamma Obsidian, but updates the surface with Toray 700 Raw Carbon Fiber (RCF) while also improving the construction thanks to a thermoformed design. The 16mm. core is conserving power with a little more core-based control. Balancing out the power and level of precision with next level comfort is the use of a molded handle, along with foam filled edges around the core s perimeter, the latter of which also serves to increase the size of the paddle s sweet spot. Whether you prefer to use more weight or core based power from the baseline, Gamma provides enough room on the handle to chip and charge your way to the kitchen using one or two hands on its 14.6 cm length.
