Pro Kennex
The Pro Kennex Black Ace XF Pickleball Paddle is the elongated version of the mega-popular Black Ace Pro paddle from ProKennex. Like the rest of the Black Ace line, this powerful pickleball paddle uses an 11mm (0.43") thick polypropylene honeycomb core, with a textured Toray carbon fiber face to add spin to your cuts and slices, powerful response to your groundstrokes, and feel to your placement shots. Whether you are beating up on your friends or winning local tournaments, the high-quality combination of materials will cause the ball to pop off of the face and spin consistently, while limiting vibrations that travel up to your elbow to aggravate injuries.
Setting the Black Ace XF apart from the rest of the line, this version boasts a 16.4" overall length, 7.5" width, and 5.1" long handle. This paddle shape teams up with the precise construction to add power via leverage to your overhead slams and shots from deeper in the court, while simultaneously encouraging you to reach out and return dinks that were previously just a bit out of reach.
Engineered for maneuverability with wind resistant edgeless construction and thin core technology, the Pro Kennex Ovation Flight paddle is lightning in your hand. Built for quickness and reflex enhancement, the paddle boasts unparalleled tip speed. With the Kinetic shock absorbing system, touch, feel, and kitchen play are all enhanced bringing the best of both worlds to the Ovation Flight.
The New Flight Series is the lightest paddle Pro Kennex offers and results in lightning fast reflexes and superb maneuverability.
Boasting ProKennex's innovative oval shape, the Black Ace Ovation Pickleball Paddle with Kinetic technology provides aggressive power and response all over the court. Its one-piece Toray carbon fiber molded construction offers stability and a reactive feel so you can keep up with hectic play around the kitchen, while the oval shape and thin profile will allow you to produce more speed on overhead slams and big forehand winners. And, like its Black Ace Pro sibling, the Toray carbon face boasts ample texture to ensure you can put spin on your shots from deeper in the court.
The versatility of the Kinetic Black Ace Ovation paddle is further backed by a high impact resistant 11mm (0.43") thick core housed in the paddle's 16.1" long by 7.75" wide overall dimensions. This core is comprised of a polypropylene honeycomb matrix, augmented by the Kinetic vibration and shock mitigation system inherent to all ProKennex pickleball paddles. To further help you handle the immense power of this paddle, and for the first time, the 5.4" long handle also features this patented Kinetic system of micro-tungsten bead-filled chambers, ensuring forceful strikes do not aggrivate joint and muscle issues.
The ProKennex Black Ace Pro Pickleball Paddle with Kinetic technology offers one attribute above all else, as compared to the rest of the ProKennex line, and that attribute is power. This sleek, aerodynamic paddle amplifies your power game while maintaining the level of control ProKennex paddles are known for. Its edgeless, molded, one-piece Toray carbon fiber design is one of a few new innovations from ProKennex. This advanced technology means the Black Ace paddles are incredibly durable. The textured Toray carbon fiber face material is also spin-friendly, much like other popular carbon fiber-faced paddles available today.
Unlike its Black Ace Ovation counterpart, the Black Ace Pro offers a classic paddle shape with approachable 15.8" by 7.6" overall dimensions that feel familiar. The power-boosting 11mm (0.43") thick polymer honeycomb core is augmented by the well-known Kinetic shock and vibration mitigation system inherent to all ProKennex pickleball paddles. A second innovation is the use of this Kinetic system, for the first time, inside of the 5.3" long handle that most effectively reduces vibrations from impacting a players joints or leading to muscle fatigue.
With the new Ovation Speed, Pro Kennex engineers have applied the physics of shape design to elevate paddle performance with an expanded sweet spot and a more efficient energy transfer. The new modified oval shape creates one of nature's strongest designs, bringing a higher percentage of paddle mass along the center axis. Players looking for a competitive advantage in their equipment will immediately notice an increase in paddle maneuverability and speed.

As with every ProKennex Pickleball paddle, the ProKennex Kinetic Energy technology was thoughtfully developed specifically to prevent arm and elbow injuries. Utilizing a highly sensitive timing system with internal tungsten-filled chambers that reduce vibration and focus energy more efficiently, the ProKennex Kinetic Energy System protects players from harmful impact forces and creates the most efficient energy transfer from paddle to ball.
An independent study by MIT Labs found that the ProKennex's Kinetic System reduced vibration by 43% causing significantly less damage to the arm and helping eliminate the epidemic of arm injury and strain in Pickleball.
The ProKennex Ki 10 305g uses round shaft technology to help all swing types and speeds. The Kinetic System featuring movable mass is built inside the frame to enhance power higher in the hoop and reduce twisting. ProKennex Comfort Cap System has been built into the handle of the Ki 10 to absorb vibration for maximum arm protection. At 10.8 ounces unstrung, the Ki 10 is easy to pick up but it carries a heavier swingweight. The result is a very stable feel for a middle weight racquet. The 100 square inch head size and 16x19 string pattern offer nice combination of spin and power, while the head light balance keeps the Ki 10 mobile enough for medium to moderate swing speeds, as well as faster ones. Though the Ki 10 has a firmer flex of 69, ProKennex's slew of comfort technologies make the racquet a very stable but arm friendly option.
