ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace LG Pickleball Paddle
Designed for, and with the help of, ProKennex pro pickleball player (and world #1 ranked racquet ball player) Daniel de la Rosa, the Kinetic Black Ace LG paddle adds a long-handled option to the super popular Black Ace Pro paddle. The pink and white color scheme, as Daniel's professional colors, look pretty great, too. To earn the "LG" in the name (long grip), this paddle offers a super-extended 5.87" handle wrapped in a high-tack thin grip that adds leverage to overhead put-aways and encourages two-handed backhands. The "long" theme continues into the elongated 10.5" by 7.3" Toray Carbon Fiber hitting surface. This surface offers impressive stiffness and texture that grabs pickleballs and imparts dastardly spin on technical shots.
The long handle and 16.4" overall length of the Black Ace LG teams up with the 11mm (0.43") thin polypropylene honeycomb core for impressive power. The patented Kinetic technology absorbs and disperses impact vibrations, making ProKennex the only paddle brand on the market specifically working to mitigate arm and join injuries using materials science. Additionally, the Air-O-Guard flush-mounted edge guard system protects the paddles edges while improving aerodynamics, and is completely replaceable. Finally, the 7.9 ounce static weight allows players to reload quickly, and achieve higher swing speeds to put shots away with minimal effort.
The Kinetic Black Ace LG Paddle from ProKennex Pickleball is a distinctly powerful paddle for players who seek extra reach, wield two-handed ground strokes, and pride themselves in punishing high dinks.
Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"

Black Ace paddle
Jan 23, 2024
Absolutely love my new paddle! I was using Selkirk PowerAir Invikta and my finger kept hooking through the air gap which was actually weakening my shot so that has been eliminated. The Black Ace (Long Grip, white) seems to afford me more control while at the same time allowing me to hit a bit harder when warranted. The grip fits my hand better than the other as well and my 2 handed back hands seem to have more control and power as well. Just LOVE my new paddle. So far, the white is still white, the edging is still on. Will get overwrap to protect the white grip. ?

The long grip is just right in my hands. My double back hand has improved! It’s very light I like it! Looking forward for an overall improvement in my games.

This paddle rocks. Much better in the soft game then I thought it would be based on youtube reviews etc.....Very controllable and great for hands battles and the pop and power are everything you'd want....feels like it's well built and gonna be very durable...Overall it's a winner and tons of fun to play with!

Black Ace LG

I’m in love with this paddle! I’m a 57 yo woman who needs the extra power this paddle adds. Balls fly off its face, and there is no dead spot. This is my second Black Ace. I also own the XF. The kinetic technology keeps my elbow from hurting. Can’t imagine ever using another paddle!
