PickleballCentral Expert's Corner:
Reviews of the 505 Graphite Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff:
"The new GAMMA 505 was introduced at the 2021 Margaritaville USA Pickleball Nationals Championships Presented by Pickleball Central. I got to play the paddle one night for rec play and I really like how this paddle performs. It uses the same core (GAMMA's NeuCore) and face material (graphite) as the GAMMA Shard model, but with a different shape. The handle is longer, and the paddle is slightly longer and narrower overall. The sweet spot moved a little higher on the paddle face and the extra length makes it slightly more powerful.
The feel of the paddle is soft (less feedback) and makes for a very consistent short game. With the shape, I could also feel a little more pop on the drives and overheads. This makes for a good all court paddle. Any player who is a fan of the Shard, Compass, or Hellbender models from GAMMA should check this bad boy out. It borrows a little bit from the best aspects of all those paddles, and puts them together in a very attractive package.
The shape was inspired by GAMMA Pro Players, Lindsey and Riley Newman. Their paddles (Lindsey's Havoc model, and Riley's 206 model are both forthcoming) feature a fiberglass face, so will surely arrive with a bit more pop."
