What players say
Playtesters at Tennis Warehouse and Tennisnerd single out the Black Ace Pro as one of the most comfortable and precise frames they've hit with, thanks to its flexible 19.5mm beam and Kinetic/FlexLogic vibration damping. The tradeoff reviewers agree on is power: this is a frame for players who generate their own pace, with a small margin for error on off-center hits.
Best for
- Advanced control players
- Players with tennis elbow or arm sensitivity
- Counterpunchers and all-court players
- Players who generate their own power
Pros
- Outstanding comfort and arm protection from Kinetic micro-chambers and FlexLogic dampening
- Exceptional control and precision, especially on serves and volleys
- Stable despite a relatively light, maneuverable frame
- Strong spin production, particularly on slice
Cons
- Modest, low power output that requires active swing effort
- Small sweet spot that punishes off-center contact
- Some testers found feedback surprisingly muted for shot-shaping

I absolutely loved the feel of this stick...a seriously whippy and precise racquet.
— Mark (playtest team), Web
The only thing that exceeded the comfort level...was how effective I was with my groundstrokes.
— Munish (playtest team), Web
stability is quite impressive...I wish the 2025 Black Ace Pro had a bit more power.
