Description
The Amakirk Control 5.0 16mm is a control-focused pickleball paddle built for players who prioritize touch and precision. It pairs a True Foam Core with a raw carbon T700 face, so you get a soft, stable feel for dinks, drop shots and reset balls. It is a 16mm paddle built for controlled play rather than raw power.
Key Features
- True Foam Core – absorbs shock and reduces vibration for a softer, more connected feel
- Raw Carbon T700 face – gives you a textured surface that helps the ball dwell for better spin and direction
- Balanced weight distribution – makes the head easier to control during quick exchanges at the net
- Padded grip – reduces hand fatigue over long sessions and helps lower wrist strain
- Quieter sound at impact – a softer hit that suits indoor courts and noise-sensitive venues
