Description
The Volair CMD WB 16mm is a Widebody pickleball paddle, measuring 15.88 inch long and 8.12 inch wide, for players who want a larger, more forgiving hitting area. Built with a Channel Core and HexGrit™ surface, it balances feel, spin and maneuverability. Compared with the Elongated CMD, it trades some reach for a wider sweet spot.
Key Features
- Widebody shape – a 8.12 inch wide face gives you a larger hitting zone
- Channel Core – channels are tuned so the ball sinks into the face more naturally
- Full Floating EPP Foam Core with EVA – a softer, connected feel at contact
- HexGrit™ surface – designed to keep texture and spin potential over longer play
- Off-center support – lower channels aim for a more consistent sweet spot

Who It's For

FAQ
Is the Volair CMD WB good for players who miss the sweet spot often?
Yes. The Widebody shape and off-center channel support are designed to give you a larger, more consistent hitting zone, which helps when the ball doesn't land in the center.
How does the CMD WB differ from an Elongated paddle?
The Widebody gives you a wider face for more forgiveness, while an Elongated paddle offers more reach. Choose the WB if control and sweet-spot size matter more to you than extra length.
