Riley Newman uses his signature 206 Paddle because it is all about power—power to your forehand and explosive power to your backhand. Its extended grip length gives you extra reach and makes it easier to execute the two-handed backhand. National Champion Riley Newman developed the Riley Newman Signature 206 Pickleball Paddle with GAMMA Sports to meet the needs of players and help them achieve their goals. The 206 is designed with a precise feel and gives you perfectly clear, pinpoint, and most importantly powerful shots.
This paddle is fitted with our best-selling GAMMA Honeycomb Cushion Grip, providing high traction for maximum grip feedback, control and long-lasting comfort.
