What is the Arronax KVL 005?

Arronax – a rising pickleball paddle brand with the philosophy of “the best of both worlds” – introduces the KVL 005: a paddle using a unique Kevlar + Carbon Fiber surface – the first to combine these two materials in a pickleball paddle.

KVL = Kevlar – the name reflects the distinctive surface technology. 005 is the 5th and most refined version in the KVL series.

Why Kevlar + Carbon Fiber?

Technical Specifications

4 Outstanding Technologies

1. Multi-Density "Floating" Foam Core – Absorption & Explosiveness

• High-quality EPP + EVA foam perimeter structure
• For soft shots: soft, shock-absorbing – excellent dwell time for dinks and resets
• For powerful shots: strong rebound – unleashing explosive power for drives and topspin
• Effectively reduces strain on hands and elbows – suitable for long play sessions or tournaments
• "Floating" Foam Core – the foam core is designed to "float" within the frame, optimizing feedback
