The Black Ace XF Pickleball Paddle by ProKennex, which stand for extra face, is the longest, most powerful paddle in the Black Ace family of paddles.Â
The elongated paddle face not only adds more reach for the player, but raises the
sweet spot slightly further north, giving those that wield it more leverage at contact, meaning more power and more spin.Â
This paddle is the first ever thin core, aerodynamic, kinetic, elongated, single piece paddle ever made available to the public. Â
Materials: The Black Ace XF is made with high-quality materials that are designed to be both durable and lightweight. The paddle features a carbon fiber face, which is a strong and rigid material that provides excellent power and spin potential. The core of the paddle is made with a polymer material, which offers a softer touch and better control on softer shots.
Weight: The Pro Kennex Black Ace XF pickleball paddle is only available in one weight, which is 7.9 ounces. This weight is considered to be a good balance between power and control, and it should feel comfortable in the hands of most intermediate to advanced players.
Face: The Black Ace XF is also the first TORAY carbon fiber faced paddle in an edgeless design, an engineering and manufacturing feat.
Grip: The grip circumference of the Pro Kennex Black Ace XF pickleball paddle is 4", which is a standard size for most pickleball paddles. This size should feel comfortable for most players, but if you have larger or smaller hands, you may want to consider adding an overgrip or resizing the grip to make it more comfortable for your specific needs.
Vibration Dampening System: The Black Ace XF features an innovative vibration dampening system that helps to reduce the amount of shock and vibration that is transferred to the player's arm during play. This system consists of several layers of materials that absorb and dissipate vibration, making the paddle more comfortable to use and reducing the risk of injury.
Overall Performance: The Pro Kennex Black Ace XF is a high-performance pickleball paddle that offers a great balance of power and control. The carbon fiber face provides plenty of pop and spin potential, while the polymer core offers a softer touch and better control on softer shots.Â
