Mon Ami
The Mon Ami is not just a pickleball paddle. It is a best friend on the court.
Built for players who want both commanding power and unmatched finesse, the Mint Sport Mon Ami combines a Black Kevlar face with an 18mm black polypropylene honeycomb core for a playing feel that is resilient, responsive and ready for anything. The open throat and Dynamic Flow System Slits at the blade's forefront channel air with precision, reducing drag and delivering lightning-fast shots when the rally demands it.
Control starts in your hand.
