CoreStrike 45 (16mm): Exceptional control and power — one of the best paddles I’ve used/ by ivan

I recently upgraded to the Kasaca Kevlar Pickleball Paddle, and it’s quickly become my go-to on the court. From the first few rallies, the difference in balance, pop, and precision was noticeable. The 16mm thermoformed carbon fiber core provides a solid, consistent feel, and the Kevlar layering adds an impressive level of control — you can feel every shot, whether it’s a soft dink or a full drive.

The power-to-control balance is where this paddle really shines. It gives me enough pop to finish points but doesn’t sacrifice touch at the kitchen line. Spin generation is also excellent — the T700 carbon surface grips the ball beautifully, helping me curve shots with ease. The edge guard adds just the right amount of protection without feeling bulky or changing swing weight, and the paddle feels stable even during hard volleys.

Build quality is outstanding. The materials feel premium, and the paddle looks sleek and professional. I’ve dropped it a couple of times during play, and it’s held up perfectly — no chips or delamination. The handle is comfortable and slightly textured for a secure grip, even when my hands get sweaty.

What I like most is the consistency. Every shot feels deliberate — no random dead spots or vibration on off-center hits. It’s light enough for quick hand battles but firm enough to deliver explosive drives when you want them. After a week of mixed play (singles and doubles), I’ve noticed a real boost in both accuracy and confidence.
Overall, I’d give this Kasaca paddle a solid 5 out of 5 stars. It’s perfect for players who want professional-level control with dependable power and premium construction. For its price point, it performs like paddles twice as expensive — truly a fantastic find for any serious pickleball player.
