Maria Klokotzky β€” Canada's #1 Ranked Female Pro

The MK47 was designed court-side with Maria β€” not just endorsed by her. Every spec, material, and detail was dialled in based on what Canada's best female player actually relies on at the elite level. This is Apollo's first signature pro paddle, and it's built to put Canadian pickleball on the map.

What Makes the MK47 Different

Pro-Engineered. Court-Tested. Built for Canada.

The MK47 isn't a paddle that had a name slapped on it. Maria Klokotzky worked with Apollo's engineering team throughout the design process β€” testing materials, adjusting weight distribution, and refining the shape until every element reflected what she actually relies on at the elite level.

The result is Apollo's most technically advanced paddle yet. EPP + EVA hybrid core, T700 carbon fiber with engineered texture, EVA perimeter ring, extended handle for tennis crossovers, and a hybrid shape that delivers forgiveness and power without compromise.

01
EPP Foam Core β€” Zero Dead Spots
EPP's closed-cell structure delivers superior energy return and completely consistent feel from the first rally to the last. No drop-off. No dead zones. Every shot feels the same.
02
EVA Perimeter Ring β€” Expanded Sweet Spot
A full ring of EVA foam absorbs off-centre hits and protects your arm from fatigue. Expands the effective sweet spot so more of the paddle face is working for you on every shot.
03
T700 Carbon Fiber β€” Maximum Spin
Premium Toray T700 raw carbon with engineered texture grips the ball longer at contact β€” loading topspin and giving you precision placement that separates competitive from recreational play.
04
Honeycomb Handle Core β€” Balanced Swing Weight
Lightweight honeycomb composite inside the handle keeps swing weight balanced and head-forward. Faster hand speed in kitchen firefights and better stability on punch volleys.
05
Hybrid Shape β€” Power & Forgiveness
The wide sweet spot of a traditional paddle with the reach and leverage of an elongated. You get forgiveness when you need it and power when you go for it β€” without choosing between the two.
06
Extended Handle β€” Built for Tennis Crossovers
Designed with tennis players and two-handed backhand players in mind. Maximum leverage on drives and serves β€” the exact grip length Maria relies on at the highest level of the Canadian game.

Common Questions

MK47 β€” Frequently Asked Questions

The MK47 is Apollo's first signature pro paddle and the most technically advanced paddle we've ever built. It features next-generation EPP + EVA hybrid core β€” a step beyond the Gen 4 foam used in the HyperFoam series. It also includes an EVA perimeter ring for expanded sweet spot and vibration reduction, an extended long handle for tennis crossovers and two-handed backhands, and a hybrid shape co-designed with Maria Klokotzky based on her actual needs at the elite level.
Maria Klokotzky is Canada's #1 ranked female pickleball pro and a former competitive tennis player. She didn't just endorse this paddle β€” she co-designed it. Maria worked with Apollo's engineering team to make sure every spec reflected what she actually uses at the highest level of competition in Canada. This is a genuine co-design built on real competitive feedback, not a marketing deal.
Gen 4 introduced solid foam cores to replace traditional polymer honeycomb β€” eliminating core crush and expanding the sweet spot. The MK47 builds further on this with EPP (Expanded Polypropylene), a closed-cell foam that delivers superior energy return, zero dead spots, and consistent performance from the first rally to the last. Paired with a full EVA perimeter ring, it provides better vibration dampening and a larger effective sweet spot than standard Gen 4 foam alone.
Yes β€” the MK47 was specifically designed with tennis crossovers in mind. The extended long handle provides the grip length tennis players are used to and supports two-handed backhand play. The hybrid shape and EPP + EVA core also translate well to the aggressive baseline style many tennis players bring to pickleball. Maria herself came from competitive tennis, and this paddle reflects her transition to the elite level of the Canadian game.

Both are excellent, but they're built for different players. The HyperFoam HF-1 is Apollo's most versatile all-court paddle β€” ideal for intermediate to advanced players who want a balanced, consistent performer. The MK47 is built for competitive and serious players who want elite-level technology: EPP + EVA core, extended handle, hybrid shape, and EVA perimeter ring. If you play competitively or are transitioning from tennis, the MK47 is the right choice. Compare all paddles β†’
