Designed with an elongated shape, the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace XF 14 Pickleball Paddle proves to be the most powerful offering in the new Black Ace line. The first thing that contributes to this power is the combination of the elongated 16.4” overall length and extended 5.1” handle. These two features combine to provide leverage and reach that result in high swing speeds both at the net and from the baseline. They also leave room for an 11.3” by 7.5” Carbon Fire hitting surface that offers the same long-lasting texture and rigidity for linger time and spin as the old Toray surface but supercharges it for added pop that encourages big put aways and helps us change passes into point winners.
This hitting surface and the replaceable edge guards found on the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace XF14 Pickleball Paddle promise longevity, something the 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core perpetuates. This core, in conjunction with the return of Kinetic Technology, works to create response behind the ball, offer a soft feel, and eat up vibrations that run up our arm and cause fatigue. To help us control all of this pop, ProKennex included their 4” diameter tapered handle that fills us with confidence from first serve to match point.
