The Black Ace XF by ProKennex, which stand for extra face, is the longest, most
powerful paddle in the Black Ace family of paddles.
The elongated paddle face not only adds more reach for the player, but raises the
sweet spot slightly further north, giving those that wield it more leverage at contact, meaning more power and more spin.
This paddle is the first ever thin core, aerodynamic, kinetic, elongated, single piece paddle ever made available to the public.
- Paddle Weight: 7.9 ounces
- Handle Length: 5.1 inches
- Paddle Length: 16.4 inches
- Paddle Width: 7.5 inches
- Grip Width: 4″

ProKennex Pickleball paddles are the first paddles created by multiple US Open Championship players. All paddles are dream, designed, and play-tested by Steve Dawson, Callan Dawson and Jennifer Dawson.
For over 6 years, ProKennex has pushed the limits of innovation and has done so once again with the release of the iconic Black Ace series.
We are thrilled to release the very first ever TORAY carbon fiber faced single piece paddle. The Black Ace is also the first TORAY carbon fiber faced paddle in an edgeless design, an engineering and manufacturing feat.
The Black Ace is a powerful yet versatile paddle to get the ultimate edge over your opponent.
The patented Air-o-Guard replaceable edge guard is designed with the highest aerodynamic standards to keep your paddle’s edge protected for life.
Utilizing a highly sensitive timing system with internal tungsten-filled chambers that reduce vibration and focus energy more efficiently, the ProKennex Kinetic Energy technology protects players from harmful impact forces and creates the most efficient energy transfer from paddle to ball.
The micro-tungsten beads are embedded in the paddle’s perimeter, absorbing impact vibration before it has a chance to travel from the paddle up your arm and into the soft tissues in your joints.
Due to the extreme power and pop of the Black Ace, we felt it obligatory to add an additional kinetic system in the handle of the paddle, enhancing the paddle with one extra layer of filtration of shock, torque and vibration. The tungsten beads within the kinetic system are now viewable through the end cap of the paddle.
An independent study by MIT Labs found that the ProKennex’s Kinetic system reduced vi bration by 43% causing significantly less damage to the arm.
