The elongated 16.4 x 7.5 inch face raises the sweet spot and gives more leverage at contact, adding reach, power, and spin. It uses a Toray carbon face, an 11 mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a weight of 7.7 to 8.1 oz, and a 5.1-inch handle with a 4 grip. It has one-piece construction, the Kinetic anti-vibration system, and the Air-O-Guard protector. Like the other 11 mm Black Aces, it has been decertified by USA Pickleball for tournaments since July 2025.
