ProKennex Black Ace Avenger 11mm LG Pickleball Paddle
Built for players who want the Black Ace response with extra reach and a better two-handed setup, the ProKennex Black Ace Avenger 11mm LG Pickleball Paddle uses a 16.5in x 7.25in elongated shape with a 5.9in handle. The longer handle gives us more room for two-handed backhands, while the narrower face keeps the paddle quick through kitchen exchanges, counters, and fast recovery swings.
The LG keeps the same 11mm Avenger engine, including one-piece construction, Carbon Fire face technology, HiveCore honeycomb, the Original Kinetic System, and the Kinetic Comfort Cap. Compared to the standard Avenger 11mm, this version feels a little more precise and maneuverable, especially when we are rolling two-handed backhands, redirecting pace, or flicking through tight windows at the net. It still has the explosive launch of the thin platform, but the shape is built for players who want speed and control with extra handle length. This platform returns fully compliant, with power coming from structural efficiency and reduced energy loss rather than core deformation.
+ Key Features
- Longer 5.9in Handle - Gives us more room for two-handed backhands and added leverage when rolling crosscourt, driving through the middle, or reaching on defensive counters.
- Elongated 16.5in Shape - Adds reach and leverage while keeping the face narrow enough to stay quick in hand battles and fast exchanges.
- 11mm Power Platform - Thin core construction creates a fast, lively rebound that helps the ball jump on counters, speed-ups, and offensive swings.
- Carbon Fire Face - Durable high-friction carbon surface helps us control the thin-core pop with spin, giving drives and rolls more shape at full pace.
- Kinetic System with Comfort Cap - Face, handle, and cap damping technology help reduce residual vibration and improve impact stability when blocking, resetting, or catching the edge of the sweet spot.
Expert Review
"The elongated LG gives us the Avenger pop with a cleaner two-handed feel. It is quick in hand battles, but the longer handle makes backhand rolls and counters feel more natural. We like this one for players who want speed, reach, and precision."

Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the difference between the Avenger 11mm and Avenger 11mm LG?
The standard Avenger has a wider face and a shorter handle, while the LG has a longer 5.9in handle, more reach, and a narrower 7.25in width for quicker maneuverability.
+ Who should choose the LG version?
Choose the LG if you use a two-handed backhand, want extra reach, or prefer a paddle that feels quicker and more precise in fast exchanges.
+ Does the LG still have the same pop as the standard Avenger?
Yes. It uses the same 11mm platform, Carbon Fire face, HiveCore, and one-piece construction, so the response is still fast and powerful.
+ Is the LG better than the Avenger for control?
It can feel more precise because of the narrower face and longer handle. The ball still comes off quickly, but the shape helps us guide counters, backhand rolls, and speed-ups with more intention.
+ Is this a good paddle for two-handed backhands?
Yes. The 5.9in handle is the main reason to choose the LG, especially if you like rolling, driving, or countering with two hands.
+ Is this the same Black Ace that was previously removed?
Yes, this is the return of the Black Ace platform, now fully compliant and back in play. The performance comes from build quality, one-piece construction, and a thin 11mm cross-section that reduces energy loss at impact rather than relying on core crush or intentional delamination. For players who loved the original Black Ace, the LG gives that same fast response with added reach, extra handle length, and long-term consistency.
