Pro Kennex's lightest paddles yet, featuring a first-ever gripping face with DIAMOND FROST and the revolutionary AIR-O-GUARD System. Engineered for maneuverability with wind resistant edgeless construction and thin core technology, the paddle is lightning in your hand. Built for quickness and reflex enhancement, the paddle boasts unparalleled tip speed. With the Kinetic shock absorbing system, touch, feel, and kitchen play are all enhanced bringing the best of both worlds to the Ovation Flight.
Like all Pro Kennex pickleball paddles, the Flights are engineered with their renowned, arm saving Kinetic System, giving players max performance with max arm protection. The Flight Series is available in two head shapes: Ovation Flight Oval and Pro Flight Square.
The FLIGHT SERIES features our new proprietary CLOUD CELL core system which dramatically reduces paddle weight by increasing the size and space between each cell within the honeycomb core. Our graphite perimeter cap provides the strength and stability necessary to support this new, lightweight core, giving you performance without compromise.
With the new Flight SERIES, Pro Kennex is proud to introduce the innovative AIR-O-GUARD system which achieves paddle protection without the weight and balance problems of current, old-world guards. And when your edge guard wears out, instead of replacing the paddle like you do with all other companies, simply replace your AIR-O-GUARD with a brand new one.
Approved For Use In USAPA Sanctioned Tournament
Disclaimer: Due to high-performance aerodynamic edgeless-construction, chipping and scratches occur during normal wear and tear.
Pro Kennex Kinetic System:
The Pro Kennex Kinetic technology uses micro-bearings and Newtonian physics to take the ball energy (shock, torque and vibration) and absorb it into the Kinetic chambers. After impact, a shock wave is released into the paddle from the ball and is immediately absorbed into the kinetic chambers in the paddle virtually eliminating vibration to the arm. This energy transfer shields the player from harmful impact forces making for enhanced touch, feel, and kitchen play.

This paddle was great except the handle turned out to be short for me. Especially if you’re one to do quite a few two-handed backhands. I had to swap it for the Pro Kennex Black Ace paddles with a longer handle.

I wasn’t sure if this paddle would really help with my tendonitis, but it did! Granted, I am also doing some PT, and being mindful of how I play. But this paddle definitely reduces the pesky vibration, and on top of that, I love playing with it! I am really liking how late it is. But it has plenty of pop. I feel I’ve gotten faster at the net and more accurate with my shots. If you’re on the fence, I say, try it!

Elbow saving paddle

This paddle saved my game. I was bothered by severe elbow pain and tendonitis. A fellow pickleballer showed me their Pro Kennex Pro Flight paddle and let me use it for a few weeks. When my pain disappeared I was sold on the product. I have since bought two paddles and have never had recurring pain.

Paddle construction subpar

Helped elbow tendinitis but began to delaminate after 8 months. I was sent a new paddle after returning defective one but didn’t like it because shots at edges sounded “tinny”.
Company is responsive, but I regret I cannot endorse their paddles.

Shoulder no longer hurts, love this paddle

Had shoulder surgery 3 years ago. Anytime I play more than 2 hours, my shoulder gets sore. This paddle was suggested to help with that, and I was looking for a new paddle. And it works. I can play 3 hours straight and have practically no pain or fatigue in the that shoulder know. Plus, its just a great feeling paddle. I like everything about it. Pricey, but aren't they all, worth it. I bought from PickleballGalalxy because of their return policy, but this paddle is a keeper. 3 free balls is a nice touch too!

Expensive paddle but worth every penny. It has enabled me to continue to play while my elbow heals. Thank you, PickleballGalaxy, for suggesting the Pro Kennex Pro Flight to address my issue.

I bought this paddle to hopefully get more zing on the ball when I played singles. It definitely has more pop than my previous paddle. I also found that I have more control at the kitchen line. I think I will be very pleased once I have more time using the paddle.

This has become my new favorite paddle by far. The paddle really helped eliminate my tennis elbow and my reactions at the net are much faster. I also love not having the edge guard.

Took a bit to get the feel but now I love it. Elbow has been an issue so hope this helps. I would like a little larger grip size so I just added an over grip. Works great.

Great Paddle

Very thin edgeless paddle, improved my net game right away. Much quicker to maneuver at the net.. similar to a ping pong paddle. Took a few games to get use to the extra jump off the paddle on service returns versus the paddle I was playing with.
