Project Matic - Firefight Pro Edition
Project Matic - Firefight Pro Edition
Big power is easy. Power you can actually place, shot after shot, is what wins. That's what we built the Firefight Pro to do.
Project Matic™ is the most advanced platform Mission First has ever engineered, and the Firefight Pro leads the series.
- A sweet spot that forgives. The Mission First Signature Hybrid Shape blends wide-body forgiveness with the speed and reach of a performance paddle, so your off-center shots still find the line.
- Spin that grabs. Four layers of MetaGrit T700 carbon bite the ball and hold your spin, serve after serve.
- Power you can control. The all-new Meta Foam Core (MPP foam center, TPU pop ring, TPE throat inserts) gives you real pop and energy return without the harsh, hollow feel.
A thin red line runs down every Firefight Pro, honoring the firefighters we've lost, and a portion of every sale supports the Fire Department Coffee Foundation. Firefighter and police owned. Play with purpose.
Limited first run. Pre-order now, ships August 2026.
A portion of the proceeds support the Fire Department Coffee Foundation, a 501(c)(3) supporting firefighters sick or injured on the job.Couldn't load pickup availability
One platform, four missions
Play with purpose. Make an impact.
Every Project Matic paddle is built on the same elite performance platform. The difference is the graphic, and the cause behind it. Each colorway supports a different charitable mission, so you choose the one that resonates most with you.
Firefighter and police owned and operated. We serve in our communities with purpose, and we serve on the courts with purpose.

Is it USA Pickleball approved?
Approval is pending. The paddles are submitted for USAP approval once the production batch is delivered, and we expect to pass based on in-house testing. We will confirm before shipping.
What does my purchase support?
