Slice

The KiwiLabs Slice is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it has a medium swing weight (116). The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance between power and control. The combination of core and face materials could provide a blend of power and touch. Its standard shape is generally versatile for various playing styles. The medium swing weight may offer sufficient power without sacrificing maneuverability. The twist weight of 6.46, with a rating of 5.3/10 and in the 58th percentile, suggests moderate torsional stability. While the carbon fiber face may enhance control, it could potentially reduce power compared to some fiberglass or composite faces. The 16mm core, while aiding control, might limit power generation for some players. The spin rating is 3.5/10, placing it in the 12th percentile.
