Ektelon s Inferno RS is the latest evolution to the Inferno line of pickleball paddles. New to this update, the Inferno RS now boasts thermoformed construction, which improves this elongated design s power, durability and also contributes to paddle comfort via excellent vibration control. Another about-face change is Ektelon s choice of Raw Carbon Fiber for all of the new RS paddles including the Inferno RS, which renders incredible spin potential and a high degree of precision. And encased within its uni-body design is a more control oriented 16mm polypropylene core. Furthering the theme of quality and comfort is 5.5 inch handle length which contains EVA foam internally to help smooth out the Inferno RS response on every shot. The 16.5 inch overall paddle length combined with an average weight of 8 ounces features extra reach and strikes a balance between paddle stability and agility. Whether you are a recreational or elite level competitive player, the Ektelon Inferno RS is a high quality all-court paddle option for bangers and soft shot artists alike.
