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.

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. Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet. 4.4 4.4 out of 5 202 reviews - Amazon 4.4 · 202 reviews ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
