Pickleball Apes
Pro Line Energy S
Hybrid17mmGen 2
The Pickleball Apes Pro Line Energy S is a 17 mm hybrid pickleball paddle. It generates average spin with low power and average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but below-average twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace.
