Katana
Elongated16mmGen-1Cold Pressed
The Komodo Katana is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, Kevlar 3K Cloth face. It generates low spin (27th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
