What’s up guys we’re here with the founder of am pickle ball in the first ever pickle ball racket Johnny we’re excited to hear about the am Arrow one so let’s talk talk us through it so we’re looking at the first ever pickle ball racket to the pickle ball scene talk me through the technical specs of this paddle and who should expect to.

Play with this uh sure yeah so um well fundamentally it’s uh it’s pickable recet so it changes from the paddle it’s double thermaled so we have an internal racket frame so around here it’s a single molded fluid carbon frame and then we mold the core into into that frame and then we thermoform it again to create the racket so that’s what.

Separates it from the standard paddle construction um it’s 3K we have three layers of 3K uni um formed around the the whole racket frame um it is uh basically 15.75 in long we have a 5 in handle we have our um Aerotech aerrow foil here so this is not a a cutout per se it’s actually formed from um the racket frame.

And um and then we have our nanotech we have two layers of nanotech on on top to create the spin about 80% of our spin comes from the racket frame the dwell time um on on the racket is what creates majority of it um other things that people usually want to know is it’s got a static weight of 8.1 so it’s solidly in the midweight um category there.

However the swing weight because of the racket construction the swing weight is uh 109 so typically speaking with a static weight of 8.1 you’re going to see a swing weight of 120 130 our is more around 109 as I said so it’s it’s more like a static weight of 7.5 7.6 so it feel feels a lot lighter to play with than um it gives away so the actual and.

That that allows you to create that tennis type game um but fundamentally yeah it’s it’s a very well constructed double Therma formed U piece of equipment and uh we have a a hexium core which is a slightly modified polymer polypropylene to give that uh tennis style racket feel um because the the standard stuff tend to break the the.

Therm offorming process is pretty brutal um and when you double it up it really gets rough so we have a very unique hexion core um that gives us that uh that power and that control um and a very very unique feel and play style um basically the main the main people for this is um we have a lot of people coming over from tennis because it plays.

Like a mini tennis ret a lot of our tennis Bros say it’s similar to a Wilson at a 45 string tension um it’s just an easier transition for those guys that they’re very used to the way it feels in the hand and they can trust it more and then we have a lot of people that come from traditional paddles that are just wed to speed up their game they wanting.

To create those tennis angles they want to get that Top Spin Drive um they want to have a different feel when it comes to the soft game and so we’re getting a lot of converts that used to play with more of a paddle type construction and now they’re moving over to rackets but uh fundamentally that’s that’s the core uh gear oh and then the final thing that.

A lot of people are um pointing out which is unique to me is we have this shark skin um wrap so it’s I I used to dive a lot and so our our our polymer here is very much like shark skin the more you sweat the more it grips and people like the feel of it it’s a it’s a 4in circumference U mainly because it’s a single molded um handle so we haven’t.

Stuck any either foam or wood this is all solid carbon fiber and it’s been ergonomically um crafted much like a tennis racket um to fit really nicely in the hand so that’s that’s another kind of unique feature of the arm1 that you typically don’t see uh in paddles so spec-wise you’re looking at um if fundamentally something very similar to.

What you’ll see across the board so you didn’t stretch out and do something crazy with the specs you see everything you need for soft feel for spin for power for swing weight you even go down to the grip that has you know that’s that’s soft it’s got a small circumference and it’s got It’s it’s not going to slip out of your hand so you’ve.

Created a a p a racket that fits perfectly within what people are looking for when they are looking for a paddle racket paddle when they’re looking for a paddle but it’s completely different as far as the frame goes and just round out with that finish with with how different this is and your vision of why the racket is better than.

A paddle yeah I mean um obviously we’re biased we think it’s better it’s faster for sure it’s got um you get a a a much better dwell time and uh it’s in a in a game that’s speeding up um when you have a racket frame and really pickable rackets have to have that double Therma formed process they have to have an an independent racket frame that’s being.

Basically fluid carbon blow molded because that’s what gives you the performance that you can’t get out of paddle and I would say the the guys that play with this they want that speed they want that aggressive Top Spin and then when it comes close to the net they want that fast hand speed um and they want that touch and that feel um that isn’t.

Kind of that pillow soft feel that you get from paddles especially the control paddles it really does feel more like you are controlling that ball like uh a tennis ball comes off a tennis racket and so for the tennis player play specifically they’re used to that feeling they know it um they can play some really aggressive angles um because.

They’ve had 15 20 years of of playing that before and and in that regard you know the the pickable rackets that are coming on they really do play if not look but play very much like mini tennis rets and it’s definitely changing the sport the guys that are are playing with the Arma one right now are creating angles and speeds that I just don’t.

Think the pickleball world is used to and it’s giving them a huge Advantage right now and and at arm we hope to continue that Trend and continue to get closer and closer to that tennis racket feel so these guys the tennis players the racket players and those that want more speed can really start to dominate as they as they are already well the the.

First ever pickle ball racket we love it we you stayed true to the the pickle ball roots of what we need and you and you stretched outside the box to bring performance of your it to the next level if you’re a former tennis player or if you’re someone that’s just looking to have the highest performance in your pickle ball game definitely want to.
