I was missing shots due to the racquet being about 1 inch shorter than my previous racquets. For some taller people this would probably be a great racquet, but not for me.
Love my new Mach 2 Forza although it took a little time to get the feel of some shots. First, excellent feel, weight, and maneuverability. I'm a big spin player and it certainly delivers there. I found the paddle to be more control than power with the need to truly follow through on each swing, especially backhand in order to ensure i get the dink where I want it. Knowing that and after some practice, the placement ability is excellent. If you're looking to really drive the ball, though, you'll need to generate more of your own power. Not terrible -- but if you were playing with something before that was more 'pop', you'll just need to adjust. Overall, great paddle and I'm very happy with the purchase!
The packaging was really nice and the paddle has been amazing. This is my first paddle and am still new to pickleball, but I’m improving a lot quicker than I imagined. Love how balanced it feels and how much spin I can generate on my shots!
Got my Mach 2 Forza 14 about three weeks ago. After tuning the grip and weight to suit me, I have to say this paddle checks all the boxes. I've got mine taped up to about 8.5oz and it hits hard. Really hard. I have never cracked overheads with as much authority. The combination of spin and power I'm getting from this paddle is delivering a powerful, hard dipping drive that is hard to handle. Great feel at the net, too. Haven't missed a beat on the dinks. Very satisfied. I'm a better player with this paddle, Thanks Volair Team!

I think more lower-level players should be playing with standard or wide-body shaped paddles. This Mach 2 Forza has a lot going for it. The wide body provides a huge sweet spot with a high twist weight for stability. The longer handle offers more leverage and with it, power. The low swing weight means better maneuverability at the net. Oh, and there is also amazing spin. Hmm, that actually sounds like good stuff most of us could use!
