ACE Pickleball was started by Will and his colleague Brian McDonaugh after Will, a former competitive tennis player, transitioned to pickleball in 2022 and couldn't find a suitable paddle. Combining Will's playing expertise and Brian's industry experience, they created their high-performance flagship paddle, the Spade.

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.
