SLK Evo Power Max: reviews and opinions
The Be Pickleballer reviewer describes it as a power paddle with reliable control at a good price: it drives well from the baseline and on approaches, the sweet spot is large (twist weight 7) and a swing weight of 112 keeps it maneuverable. Spin is limited, especially at the net, and it is not the best choice for touch players. Average weight 8.1 oz.
