Version · 6 optionsBlack Ace ProChange
The Black Ace Pro was the first one-piece paddle with a textured Toray carbon face, and it became known for exceptional power for a core of just 11 mm. It measures 15.8 x 7.6 inches, weighs 7.9 to 8.0 oz and has a 5.3-inch handle with a 4-inch grip. The core is polypropylene honeycomb and the Kinetic system, in the frame and the handle, filters shock and vibration. Note: USA Pickleball decertified the original 11 mm Black Aces for tournaments as of July 2025, so it is now suited to recreational play.

How the RR Score was calculated

|---|---|---|
| Specs | 65% | 67 |
| Approval from players | 35% | 70 |
The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
Buyer reviews
Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.
