Engineered for precision and strength, the Kevlar Pro 16mm from Island Picklebal is a high quality, high performance paddle that provides an exceptional combination of power and control . Built from Kevlar, (yes the same material used in bullet proof vests!) this paddle provides high impact resistance that adds another level of grab and feel over the ball Along with spin, Kevlar provides a crisp, "pop" upon impact for excellent drives from the baseline and  fast pace attacks at the net. We also think the distinctive red Kevlar weave looks really cool on a pickleball paddle!
