The search ends here with the SLK Halo Pro Max, if you are looking for a compact pickleball paddle shape that maximizes power, control, and spin with a budget-friendly price tag. Thermoformed construction results in a uni-body paddle that exhibits top notch durability, along with a refined return of energy to the ball. A 14 mm Polymer Honeycomb Core along with a FlexFoam Perimeter, smooths out the ride and strikes middle ground for core power, which is a change from the other Halo paddles featuring 13 and 16mm core widths. Another change relates to the crisp feeling and very spin friendly hybrid surface of Carbon Fiber and Kevlar LinkWeave that the Halo Pro Max is paired with. Regardless of skill level, players who want maximum performance, and value from a classic shape, and uni-body design will get more than they bargained for with the SLK Halo Pro Max.
