PROKENNEX
Steve and Jennifer Dawson, both ITF world tennis champions and owners of the Bobby Riggs Racket and Paddle Club, quickly became passionate pickleball players after acquiring their tennis club. Recognizing a lack of advanced sporting technology in pickleball, they partnered with PROKENNEX to design the PRO SPEED paddle, a state-of-the-art paddle developed by players for players over 2.5 years. With decades of experience in creating top-tier racket equipment, PROKENNEX brings unmatched innovation and performance to the pickleball world, staying true to their ethos of crafting the highest-performing paddles and rackets.
The Black Ace that ProKennex has got insane power and the edge-less design is pretty sweet, imo. It's got a 10mm core, aka more power than most paddles. I like this brand for this paddle alone.
