This Paddle is made in China
The SLK ERA Power is made for players who play fast, hit hard, and expect their paddle to perform under pressure. Designed for intermediate to advanced players, it delivers power you can rely on, along with spin and touch that won’t fall apart in the soft game.
Whether you're competing or just going all out at open play, the ERA Power is a paddle that lets your energy show — with a generous sweet spot and a 1-year warranty to back it up.
The Elongated ERA Power is engineered for reach and plow-through. With a longer face (16.5” x 7.45”) and a 5.8” handle, it gives players more room for two-handed shots and greater extension on hard-to-reach balls. The added length translates to more power and spin leverage — perfect for attacking from the baseline.
Best for: Players looking to maximize reach, add whip to drives, and generate power from every inch of the paddle.
The Dynamic Fusion Core uses a polypropylene honeycomb surrounded by low-density EVA foam to distribute weight toward the edges. This helps increase paddle stability and forgiveness while giving you the pop you expect from a power-first design.
Layered with a 3-ply face made from woven fiberglass and T700 Raw Carbon Fiber, the ERA Power stiffens up at contact for maximum power output while keeping enough dwell time for controlled spin and placement.
Performance Tech Highlights
Dynamic Fusion Core: EVA foam + polypropylene honeycomb design expands the sweet spot and boosts off-center forgiveness.
3-Layered Face: Fiberglass and T700 Raw Carbon Fiber blend delivers rigidity for power and texture for spin.
Reinforced Edge Technology: Helps resist twisting and impact, extending the life of your paddle.
Raw Spin Surface: Textured to help generate RPMs and improve ball control.
Octagonal Grip: Upgraded shape for better handling and precision.
