Updated Pickleball Paddles: Ektelon Inferno RS

The updated versions of the Ektelon Inferno line of paddles are now available at Pickleball Warehouse here. Let’s have a closer look at what they can offer players.

The main difference is the new raw carbon fiber surface which translate into much better spin and good precision, even with the 16mm thickness. The updated line of the Inferno has a thermoformed construction which improves power and durability with the elongated design. This also helps with the vibration control.

These pickleball paddles now come in three different shapes and designs. Below we’ll cover the detailed specs for the new Ektelon Diablo RS, Ektelon Inferno RS and Ektelon Rogue RS.

In regards to power and control, they offer great value for the price ($149.00), there are slightly better paddles on the market in these areas but then we’re talking another price. The power is good enough for most players and in terms of the three models, anyone wants that extra power should go for the Inferno or the Diablo with their elongated design, however it depends a bit on your playing style as always. All three paddles offers a great feel and are great for spin.

Ektelon Inferno RS

Offers great stability and a bigger sweet-spot, the Inferno also works great for two-handed backhand players.

Ektelon Diablo RS

Similar to the Inferno with a bit different shape and maybe slightly less stability outside of the sweet-spot. The overall length of 16.5 inch and its curved tip will provide some extra reach. Great for players looking for extra manoeuvrability.

Ektelon Rogue RS

For fans of standard-shape paddles, offers a great feel, also with shorter grip length.
