As a key author in its development, particularly with this long handle variant, De La Rosa has ensured that this paddle encapsulates all the power he needs while elevating control and precision to levels that underpin his professional ambitions.<br><br>The signature white color, a hallmark of Daniel De La Rosa's influence, moves inches closer to iconic status with this model. It's not just a color; it's a statement that redefines the Black Ace range, blending tradition with innovation.\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>the Kinetic Mass microspheres contained in the capsules inserted inside the frame are charged with kinetic energy.
