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.
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.
Project Matic™ platform
Signature Shape
Designed from the ground up, the Mission First Signature Hybrid Shape blends the forgiveness of a wide-body paddle with the speed and reach of a performance paddle. The angled edge geometry expands the sweet spot, increases stability on off-center hits, and delivers a fast, confidence-inspiring feel. The result is exceptional control, effortless power, and a paddle that’s built to perform at every level of the game.
The anatomy
Meta Foam Core
Six pieces of engineering, stacked into one platform. Here is exactly what is inside every Project Matic paddle, and what each layer does for your game.
-
T700 Carbon + MetaGrit
Four layers of premium T700 carbon with the gritty MetaGrit surface for maximum spin, durability, and consistent control.
-
TPU Foam Ring
A high-grade TPU foam ring around the perimeter increases pop while keeping a softer, connected feel on contact.
-
MPP Foam Core
The MPP foam core is where the power lives, delivering real energy return and a responsive, alive feel.
-
3G Carbon at 3 & 9
Three grams of carbon fiber at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions add plow-through and stability on every strike.
-
TPE Throat Inserts
TPE foam inserts in the throat kill vibration for smoother, more controlled play.
-
Polypropylene Handle
A durable handle tuned for a head-light balance point and reduced static weight.
