Pro Kennex Black Ace Ovation Pickleball Paddle

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.

The new ProKennex Ovation Spin features an industry and first ever, “3 Way Access To Spin.”

1. A Starett Legal textured surface
2. Textured surface embedded into a non-slip surface applicant.
3. 23 strings submerged beneath the surface

ProKennex three-prong approach to accessing spin allows players to activate ball rotation from the textured surface and non-slip applicant in their short game while engaging the strings during groundstrokes, serves and returns for maximum spin. The ProKennex Ovation Spin introduces an updated “Oval” shape form factor. The flighty flattened tip allows for maximum surface area, a longer paddle and grip all in a tennis friendly shape. The Oval shape reduces corner weight allowing for faster paddle rotation. The Ovation Spin is a brilliantly designed single-piece paddle with a graphite inlay, making it virtually indestructible.

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.
