Summary
The Ace Pickleball HEART is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 115 swing weight is considered medium, suggesting moderate maneuverability. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The manufacturer claims a spin of 2106 RPM, a drive speed of 54.4 MPH, and a volley speed of 34 MPH. Its spin rating is 8.3 out of 10, while its drive speed and volley speed ratings are 7.0 and 5.4 respectively. The twist weight is 5.96, with a rating of 4.1 out of 10. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. A potential weakness could be the lower twist weight rating, potentially affecting stability on off-center hits.
