DESIGN
We begin the issue by taking a look at the major paddle manufacturers
and what makes their equipment unique. We’ve even made some
recommendations of intermediate to advanced paddles based on what’s hot
and also what the touring players are selecting.
Next, we step into the ball market. While there are dozens of balls out
there, the top four indoor and five outdoor models make up more than 90
percent of the market share. We focus on these primarily because they are
on top of the charts—and are seen as the tournament go-to models. As of
press time, we still have not yet seen or tested several of the newer balls
listed as “USAPA approved.” We look forward to trying them out and letting
you know what we think.
After we make our way through the paddles and balls, we look at the fun
stuff, such as training equipment, ball machines, camps, grips, clothing,
shoes and miscellaneous pickleball products.
I welcome your comments and insight. In addition, whether you are a
manufacturer or an enthusiast, if you have a product you would like to
promote with us, we’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you on the courts.
Happy Shopping,
Wayne
