Beginner Player Paddles: Focus on control, larger sweet spots, and forgiveness, often with lighter weights and wider shapes to help players develop their skills.
Intermediate Player Paddles: Balanced for both power and control, allowing players to start experimenting with different shot techniques like spin.
Advanced Player Paddles: These paddles are designed for precision, power, and spin. They often have more specialized core materials and surface textures, allowing experienced players to fully control their game.
Playing Style
Control Focused Paddles: Lightweight paddles with a soft surface and core, allowing players to focus on accuracy and finesse rather than power.
Power Focused Paddles: Heavier paddles with stiff cores and surfaces, designed to generate more powerful shots with less effort.
Spin Focused Paddles: Feature textured surfaces that increase ball contact, helping players apply more spin to their shots.
Paddle Shape
Pro Shape: Offers a balance between power, control, and reach. These are the most common paddle shapes, providing a wide sweet spot.
Ovation Shape: Paddles designed to resemble the shape of a tennis racket, providing a familiar feel for tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Offers power and precision.
Extended Face: These paddles are longer and narrower, offering extended reach and more power on the edge. They typically have a smaller sweet spot.
Long Grip: These Paddles have a longer handle, allowing players to hit with two hands.
Paddle Weight
Light Weight Paddles (under 7.3 oz): Ideal for players who prioritize quick reflexes and control. They are easier to maneuver but may require more effort to generate power.
Mid Weight: (7.3 - 8.4 oz): The most versatile paddles, balancing power and control. Suitable for a wide range of players and playstyles.
Heavy Weight Paddles (8.5 oz and above): Designed for players who want maximum power. These paddles help generate stronger shots but can be harder to control and may lead to quicker fatigue.

Unleash the power you crave and the protection you need
Experience the MOST POWERFUL LEGAL paddle in the game, engineered to deliver unmatched performance WITHOUT SACRIFICING ARM PAIN. The Pro Kennex Black Ace Series combines cutting-edge power with MAXIMUM ARM PROTECTION, thanks to our patented KINETIC TECHNOLOGY that reduces shock and vibration by over 20%, helping to prevent injuries.
With the launch of our new Black Ace Series, we are pleased and excited to add the first ever Full Carbon Kinetic Handle System to our long list of innovations.
Housed inside the unibody carbon handle is a custom chamber with inelastic micro spheres. Now, any frame oscillation that may escape the Kinetic Champers in the head of the paddle will be absorbed by these micro spheres in the handle system. In science, we call this ‘NON-OBSTRUCTIVE PARTICLE DAMPING’, or NOPD. Your wrist, elbow and shoulder will thank you.
The new Black Ace also features an exclusive, next gen Carbon Face—Spiral Tech Carbon 4. In addition to adding friction in 4 directions, the Spiral Tech Carbon 4 installation technique enhances energy return to the ball. This means more speed and stability across the entire face.
Already coined by TV commentators as the “ACE SOUND”, you’ll also hear the difference with your first forehand!
The most powerful yet arm-friendly paddle in pickleball. Featuring our Dynamic Kinetic System in both the body and handle of the paddle, the Black Ace paddles deliver all the power you need—while simultaneously giving you unrivaled arm protection. Experience unmatched performance and superior arm protection with every swing.
MAXIMUM ARM PROTECTION
KINETIC TECHNOLOGY
Kinetic Technology is a holistic mechanical system that not only yields the best shot production, but also delivers unrivaled arm protection, comfort, and endurance. Heralded by the New York Times, Popular Science, Machine Design, Time Magazine, among many other publications, the Kinetic System was independently tested by MIT Sports Dynamics Lab as well as Germany’s Köln University. The testimonials for health benefits are voluminous, but its ability to reduce arm fatigue speaks to player performance over the grueling match schedule unique to pickleball tournaments.
