ProKennex Black Ace 16 Pickleball Paddle

With the next iteration of ProKennex’s Black Ace line comes the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace 16 Pickleball Paddle. This 16” middleweight paddle combines a controllable design with a reworked standard shape to thrive in the hands of precise players who simply refuse to miss a shot. The 10.6” by 8” Carbon Fire hitting surface marks the first upgrade in this new paddle. Like the old Toray Carbon Fiber hitting surface it is rigid and full of natural texture for linger time and spin, but this new material feels super charged with pop and power to help balance out this thick core paddle.

The 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core of the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace 16 Pickleball Paddle absorbs impact and offers an expanded sweet spot to earn this paddle its controllable tagline. This core’s attributes are further enhanced by the return of Kinetic Technology that lives near the core and extends into the tapered 5.3” handle of this compression molded pickleball paddle. Kinetic Tech eats up vibrations to create a soft feel and limit fatigue so that we can utilize this precise and controllable tool to the best of our ability.
