A first for the SLK HALO series, this Carbon + Kevlar all-court pickleball paddle combines the added force of a power paddle with the reliable feel of a control paddle, making it an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced players who seek an optimal strength-to-weight ratio for durability without sacrificing maneuverability for rapid swings and precise shots.

The cutting-edge construction introduces Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave technology, alongside an advanced thermoformed molding and a FlexFoam injected perimeter to the HALO series, enhancing player performance and paddle durability for serious players.

The SLK HALO Pro's resilient raw carbon kevlar surface improves spin, and its large sweet spot and lighter weight enhance maneuverability, allowing for powerful drives, speed ups, and put-aways with control at the net, solidifying it as the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance within the HALO series of paddles.

Available in two paddle shapes, Max or XL.

Max | Maximum Sweet Spot & Largest Surface Area

Offering the largest surface area and sweet spot of all paddle shapes, the Max is designed to provide balanced players with unparalleled performance on the court. With its maximum sweet spot and generous surface area, the Max shape delivers optimal power and control, making it the ideal shape for players of all skill levels.

In November 2022, SLK introduced the HALO series of pickleball paddles, revolutionizing the lineup with innovative raw carbon fiber technology; now, building on the success of the HALO, SLK presents the HALO Pro: the new Carbon + Kevlar, hybrid paddle of choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking an all-court pickleball paddle with superior spin, solidifying the SLK HALO Pro as the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance within the HALO series.

The HALO Pro introduces SLK’s Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave, paired with a premium paddle design and elevated functionality, to offer pickleball players a balance of incredible power and reliable control.

Patent-Pending Carbon Fiber Kevlar LinkWeave | Featuring a unique, patent-pending interwoven blend of Carbon Fiber and Kevlar, the HALO Pro’s stiffer paddle face provides the ideal balance of power and control to give you a balanced feel.

Kevlar® is a registered trademark of affiliates of DuPont de Nemours, Inc

Rev-Pro Polymer Honeycomb Core | Designed to enhance the overall sweet spot of the paddle and bring a balance of power and control.

Thermoformed UniBody Design | Thermoforming is an advanced molding process that creates a unibody design, increasing the consistency and expanding the sweet spot of the paddle while adding more power.

FlexFoam Perimeter | Achieved by injecting specially formulated foam into the perimeter of the paddle, FlexFoam Perimeter technology enlarges the sweet spot and absorbs the vibrations from every hit.

SLK Ultra-Comfort Grip | Designed for a confident hold, the SLK cushioned grip is ultra-comfortable and non-slip. Its ridged design enables players to develop intuitive paddle positioning.

Edgesentry Edgeguard | Crafted to achieve a well-balanced, and solid paddle, the durable EdgeSentry edge guard technology is low profile and lightweight.

New Favorite Paddle

This paddle instantly became my favorite and main paddle for both playing and coaching. It is a perfect blend of control, touch, spin, and power. I feel like I have pin-point control, incredibly placed resets, and perfect touch with drops and drives. I added weight to the head and sweet-spot side to give some more whipe and stability, and I have to say that cosmetically it looks absolutely beautiful .

All Around Good Choice

Very impressed with the paddle. Light, but with plenty of power and maneuverability at the kitchen line when under fire from opponents.

Halo Pro

Having played three generations of Vanguard S2 and two Halos over 5 years and currently playing a Lux control for a year I was hoping it might be a little softer. I knew going in it would be more poppy and I was going to have to make some adjustments with my 3.5 game. The 14 mm core was going to be a concern but I thought maybe this core might be a slightly softer polymer. That being said after bringing the weight up to 9.2 oz. I'm enjoying the pop and great spin surface and it's not too bad in the dink game. I would not put it in the power paddle category but good pop when blocking shots and quick wrist flicks. Not sure I will make this my go to paddle because my Lux is just magic in the soft and control game and once you put some weight on it it's no slouch with power. I can't afford to buy a new Lux every 4 months due to the spray on grit going away so I thought I'd try the Halo Pro and so far it's been great fun and might make me a more precise player even if I buy another Lux in the future.

Good Beginner/ Intermediate Paddle

The paddle plays very well for the intended use, very stable , but limited in the spin and power for my preference.
