Major League Pickleball and the PPA Tour retained Pro Pickle Labs (“PPL”) to test pro players’ paddles, which will hopefully help to resolve the delamination issue that has caused contention in recent months. Of the 240 paddles tested by PPL after the latest MLP event, 6 seemed to be outliers for deflection force. With that said, PPL will perform further dynamic testing prior to issuing any final recommendations on the proper surface roughness/grit of a paddle.
