Summary

The ProKennex Black Ace Pro is a standard-shaped paddle with a 10mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for its balance of power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz, it falls into the midweight category, balancing maneuverability and power. Its 5.3-inch grip may be suitable for players with smaller hands. The swing weight of 103 is considered low, making it easy to swing.

With a spin of 1699 RPM and a drive speed of 53.4 MPH, this paddle may appeal to players seeking a blend of spin and power. The high volley speed of 36.6 MPH suggests good potential for quick exchanges at the net. The twist weight of 6.21 contributes to stability on off-center hits.

The Black Ace Pro might be a good fit for intermediate players looking for an all-court paddle. The combination of control-oriented features and moderate power potential could suit a variety of playing styles. However, players seeking maximum power or a very head-heavy feel might find this paddle less suitable.
