Bison Paddles was founded by Daniel and Collin after countless hours of pickleball led them to realize the need for affordable yet reliable paddles. Struggling to find a quality paddle while in college, they created Bison Paddles to offer premium pickleball equipment at a budget-friendly price, ensuring that players of all skill levels can enjoy the game without overspending.

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.
