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.

In response to the announcement, Joola said it has decided to formally retire the Mod TA-15 Perseus as one of its competition paddles. Joola stated in a statement, "The decision to retire the Mod TA-15 is part of Joola's commitment to maintaining and meeting current industry standards because we believe this is in the best interest of pickleball. We know that the Mod TA-15 has become the paddle of choice for players of all levels in our pickleball community." Joola also said that the production of the Mod TA-15 has stopped, although the paddle will still be available for purchase online and in stores until the inventory is sold out. Joola further added that it plans to launch a new Pro series paddle in March, and these paddles will meet the new test standards of the USPA and the USA Pickleball Association.
