Product Description The Viking Axe is built for pickleball players of all skill levels. The fine grit on the surface of the paddle will help the average player generate more spin from the back court, yet the weight of the paddle will help you control the front court as well. Built with a honeycomb core, that features extra maneuverability and stability with our proprietory Carbon Fiber Stability system. 11mm thickness allows players to control the ball while on court.
