Technical Specifications

The Story of Dominus x Alix Truong

Alix Truong – a Vietnamese-American pickleball athlete ranked in the Top 10 PPA Tour USA – is renowned for her explosive playing style, unpredictable movement, and powerful backhands. Alix's petite stature but fierce fighting spirit is the inspiration for Dominus.

“Dominus — Strength lies not in muscle, but in persistent fierceness. Petite yet powerful.”

The paddle has an unassuming appearance with a weight of just 225 ± 5g – but don't let its appearance fool you. Like Alix, Dominus conceals immense inner power and fiery spirit in every stroke.

Outstanding Technology

14 mm vs 16 mm – Which Thickness to Choose?

• 16 mm: Leans towards control and stability – suitable for tactical players who prioritize precise dinks and tenacious defense

Elongated vs Widebody – Which Shape to Choose?

• Elongated: Maximum reach and strongest hitting power – suitable for players who like powerful drives and topspin from the baseline
• Widebody: Widest paddle face – largest sweet spot, ideal for players who prioritize control and stability at the kitchen line

Real-World Experience

Holding the Kamito Dominus on the court, the first thing you feel is the extremely flexible 225g weight – the paddle reacts quickly in high-speed volleys, especially suited for an aggressive net-play style.

The 3-layer Japanese Toray Carbon surface generates top-tier spin – topspin shots "bite" the ball clearly, making the ball dive deep and difficult to return. The EPP + EVA core creates a soft and controlled hitting sensation – especially in dinks and resets at the kitchen line. The 145mm handle provides good support for two-handed backhands – Alix Truong's characteristic strength.
