• The American Pickleball Association has updated its racket standards, triggering changes in the industry 2025-01-02

  Washington, D.C., December 29, 2024 - The USA Pickleball Association announced on Friday that a number of paddles will be "phased out" in 2025 as they exceed the updated test standards. This fall, the organization introduced a new test to measure the Paddle/Ball Coefficient of Restitution (PBCOR) in order to limit the "trampoline effect" that could increase the speed of the ball when it bounces off the paddle.   The USA Pickleball Association stated that the increased force resulting from the "trampoline effect" might undermine the integrity of the sport by reducing the emphasis on skill, control, and finesse. The following paddles were declared to exceed the test standards and will be phased out and removed from certification starting July 1, 2025, and will no longer be used in approved competitions: Joola: Perseus 14mm Mod TA-15, Joola: Perseus 16mm Mod TA-15, Gearbox: Pro Power Elongated, ProKennex: Black Ace, ProKennex: Black Ace Pro, ProKennex: Black Ace LG, ProKennex: Black Ace XF.
