What is Dylan Frazier’s paddle?
Frazier has been one of 2026’s paddle movers. He previously played Selkirk, briefly used JOOLA, and as of the most recent tracking is playing the Volair Shift, a hybrid-shape paddle. Because his setup has changed more than once this year, treat this as current-but-fluid.
Why does he use it?
Frazier is an elite doubles technician — superb resets, hands, and court IQ alongside Ben Johns. He favors paddles that balance control with enough pop for hand battles, which a hybrid shape like the Shift aims to deliver.
Should you use Dylan Frazier’s paddle?
