ROKNE Taktical Carbon 1.13 Pickleball Paddle
Overview
All match performance, all day comfort, and all season durability, introducing the ROKNE Taktical Carbon 1.13! The development team at ROKNE ups the ante in terms of paddle stability, power, and durability by Thermoforming the elongated shape of the Taktical Carbon 1.13. Supplying even more stability and manageable power is its average 7.7-8.2 oz. weight. Compared to the more conservative energy return of the Taktical 1.16’s 16mm core, and heavier overall weight, the thinner 13mm. Advanced Polypropylene Core profile of the Taktical 1.13 lets enough power shine through, to compensate for it being a little lighter. Maintaining control of its power, the Taktical Carbon 1.13 utilizes a precision oriented Toray T700 3K Raw Carbon Fiber surface, which affords easy access to long-lasting and point dictating levels of spin on the ball. And broadening the already boast worthy size of the Taktical Carbon’s sweet spot, along with refining overall paddle comfort is the Thermoformed Foam Lined Edge material, which (under the edge guard) wraps around the entire perimeter of the core. The elongated shape also features a 5.5 inch handle length, and 4.125 in. diameter which is wrapped in ROKNE’S Soft-Touch Contour Cushion Grip, allowing one to comfortably control play using one or two hands on the all-court formidable ROKNE Taktical Carbon 1.13.
