The Engage Evolution Aero pickleball paddle combines wind cheating technologies with Engage's high standard for quality and performance in an elongated design. The extra reach and power afforded by a 16.5 inch paddle length along with the Evolution Aero's 8 ounce average weight is easy to manage thanks to Engage's Variable Aero Technology, which promotes air flow at the throat area of the paddle. In addition to the longer paddle length is a 5.5 inch handle making the Evolution Aero ideal for both one and two handed shot makers. At the heart of the matter and new to the Evolution Aero is the use of Engage's 16mm HoldTEK Polypropylene Core which delivers outstanding comfort and shot precision plus a little extra oomph for improving shot depth. The Evolution Aero's Raw Toray T700 Carbon Fiber is one of the most textured and softer feeling surfaces available and provides huge spin on the ball along with a refined feel. Precision, comfort and spin dominates the theme of this all-court capable paddle rather than just raw power. All of this easy-swinging performance and high quality comes with an economical price, making the Engage Evolution Aero a great choice for beginner and advanced players alike.
