The SLK EVO Control XL pickleball paddle blends together aspects of power with precision, along with noticeable improvements over the prior model. Beginning with the obvious, the change to a thermoformed construction results in a uni-body paddle that supplies realistic power, not to mention incredible durability and vibration control. Encased within the paddle frame is a precision oriented 16mm Rev-Control Polymer Core which helps propel the ball with some easy power, but compared to the EVO Power is noticeably less lively. Upgrading the EVO Control XL with a T700 CarbonFusion Carbon Fiber composite surface with a SpinFlex+ texture adds spin to your game even without an aggressive, loopy swing path. Matched with the extra reach elongated paddles grant, the paddle offers the versatility of a longer 5.75 inch handle with a pretty universal 4.25 inch grip diameter, perfect for two-handers. Beginner to advancing intermediate players looking for an all-court capable, elongated paddle that features many traits typically reserved for higher priced paddles can end the search after playing with the SLK EVO Control XL.
