Platform tennis paddle by Xenon. Yes the handle heats up! USB cord included. Awesome racquet shows wear, see scuffs on top but ready for more play next season. From website: Just because paddle is played in the winter, doesn't mean that you need to have cold hands while you are doing it. The eVortex will keep your hand warm for up to 2 hours on a charge. It has a rechargeable battery that can be recharged with a standard micro USB cable (the kind used for many electronics). The handle can be heated up to 50 degrees over the outside temperature. There is also an on/off button so you can turn it off if not needed.
