Pro Kennex Ovation Speed Pickleball Paddle (Red)

In playing Pickleball, been playing for three months now, my elbow/forearm was getting sore from all of the hits. This surprised me but in discussing with other players, come to find out, lots of them are having the same forearm soreness issue.So I started searching for paddles that offered vibration reduction features and the "Kennex Ovation" Paddle came up in multiple web searches.The Amazon Reviews for the Kennex Ovation Paddle supported a reduction in arm discomfort so I decided to take a chance and purchase one."So Glad I Did!! You Feel The Difference Immediately!Its been three weeks of use now with the Ovation and my arm discomfort has disappeared. Plus.... It's a great paddle in general with good pop, ball noise and spin capability.Extremely pleased and highly recommend -- Well worth the $160 pricing.As for the Amazon Review comments about edge fraying....... I applied the head tape to the top of the paddle, comes with the paddle, and to date paddle looks new with no edge fraying.

I've been playing for about 3 years and am a 3.5 player. Have several paddles but developed pickleball elbow this summer. Tried different things including the original shape Kenetic paddle. It seemed to help reduce the pain allowing me to play harder.I decided to get one but saw this new shape and thought I would give it a try. I am very surprised by it. Played 3 days with bgg it and not only is my elbow pain greatly reduced but I feel it is quicker getting to the balls. Tje tough is real good and, although the "pop" isn't quite as good as my Engage peggle, it is still very good. Real nice design!

STAY AWAYI’ve had the paddle for six months… Enjoyed playing with it… The surface started to peel back and I’ve contacted Amazon who TOLD ME contract the supplier… The supplier referred me to the manufacture and that’s where the trouble started… I’ve left three messages with PRO Kenner have never given a return call. I have not had a chance to tell them about my problem... Definitely a manufacturer’s defect... If the manufacturer does not stand behind the product then I could not recommend the paddle‼️

I did not pike this paddle. There are many weak spots in the paddle.Also I feel the paddle cannot handle the hardness of franklin balls. It feels like inside is broken a bit. But from outside it looks like new, but from inside it feels like broken and that might be the result of weak spots. It costs 160$ and its not worth it.I am a 4.0 player and have played with selkirk earlier, bought this thinking to be better. But I am disappointed. I wish I could get my money back.

I've been playing pickleball for about 3 years and have used the same composite polymer honeycomb paddles for most of that time. To be honest, I've been pretty happy with those paddles, but I feel this paddle from Pro Kennex has given me an edge. I love the weight and feel of it. I love the ball response and slight added control over the ball it has given me. I'm grateful it came with and edge guard tape to keep it from getting scuffed up. It's a little spendy but I've been playing with it 5 to 6 days a week for the past 3 months and I'm very happy.

Best Pickleball paddle ever ! I have been playing for a year , and have increased my play time to six times a week . This paddle really saves my arm , no pain as before .Highly recommend, worth the price , indeed !

Pros: Consistent, responsive, large sweet spot, no thick edge guard reduces odd shots near when the ball strikes near the edge. No goofy designs on the face of the racquet.Cons: None. I bought two of these racquets and have played with five other designs. This one is the best.

Had the PronKennex Pro Speed (more square style). Absolutely love both paddles and how they feel in my hand. I’m a solid 3.5 level player and now playing 1-3 hours per day. Have experienced no issues like tennis elbow, sore joints, etcThe edge gaurd in this paddle is a bit more robust, and much better for less chipping
