My guy starting the season out right with an opposite field laser.

@Johnny5pointOH @PPAtour @connorpardoe_pb @UnitedPBAssoc Sounds like a great amateur tourney idea.

@pickleball_jedi I think you have the orgs confused? We’ve never changed any approvals. And the news on the blackout paddles was simply lifting the need for them at Challenger events. I thought that was a good thing…

@Pickleball @ZaneNavratil Big if true! But you would think PBCOR would have certainly been by now!

@TheKitchenPB This kid’s gonna be a problem

Thanks @JohnkewPickle for coming down to Florida to check out the lab. This is a great insight into the testing and more importantly, the differences between the two approaches. #pickleball @UnitedPBAssoc

@franklyunaware @UnitedPBAssoc Still in use for PPA Qualies and Main draws ;)

For all those paddle brands out there with players competing for the main draws… we hear you🧏‍♂️

@TheKitchenPB @roscoe_bellamy Next work on something more pressing, like his return of serve… 🤦🏻‍♂️

@PerformanceRich @USAPickleball No one is rooting harder for them to succeed than I am.

@MaggieMaeRem Pickleball has been the fasting growing sport for 4 years now. The scoring has not seemed to slow the growth down. In fact, it’s part of the initiation. It’s like poker, you have to learn the language (scoring in pickle, hand hierarchy in poker) to compete or follow.

@ProXR_PB @TheKitchenPB Congrats Jordan and ProXR!

@rousejosh It’s not apples to apples, so hard to say, different balls, different speeds, different methodologies in how we perform the tests. That being said, .405 is less than .43 and we expect that to be reflected in the paddles.

@chriscantino @pickler1234 @ZaneNavratil @USAPickleball I was playing with my 13 yo son at park today. Played against a guy with a crushed beyond belief MOD. Told him to put it down, he refused. I traded him my paddle and took it from him. It was genuinely dangerous. This is the only thing that can derail this sports’ growth.

@rmourpoppop @SelkirkSport @PPAtour @azetice All paddles that have been approve are posted here.

@pablogalvz @PerformanceRich @franklyunaware @UnitedPBAssoc @USAPickleball The rules only apply for professional play at UPA events. If people want to use them at the local level, that is up to the tournament directors to decide if they want to follow what UPA is doing. UPA-A only regulates what happens at UPA events.

Here are my answers to some of the questions I received about paddles on @x @UnitedPBAssoc @PPAtour @MajorLeaguePB

@pablogalvz @PerformanceRich @franklyunaware @UnitedPBAssoc @USAPickleball This is just for professional play btw
