Founded by four former college tennis players who fell in love with pickleball, Oya aims to bridge the gap between tennis and pickleball by creating innovative paddles that enhance tennis players' strengths. Their paddles feature increased head speed, longer handles for two-handed backhands, and faster spin rates. Inspired by bold and aggressive play styles, Oya paddles stand out with distinctive shapes, expressive color schemes, and quality craftsmanship that can be felt in every shot.

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.
