Some key pickleball partnerships have been announced in the past few weeks, including USA Pickleball’s partnerships with each of Franklin Pickleball for the official ball, and PickleballTournaments.com for the official tournament software. The PPA Tour also announced a partnership extension with Onix Pickleball for the official tournament ball, which is the Dura Fast 40. The Dura Fast 40 seems to be the preferred pickleball of the professional pickleball players, so it will be interesting to see how Franklin’s alignment with USA Pickleball changes, or maybe even reinforces, that trend.
