Pre-Submission Consultation for New Paddle Technologies

The United Pickleball Association of America (UPA-A) encourages all manufacturers developing new materials, technologies, or construction types to participate in a Pre-Submission Consultation prior to submitting for official paddle certification.

As innovation continues to drive performance in pickleball, this process ensures that new advancements align with the intent and performance limits defined in UPA-A’s Paddle Rules. Our goal remains to protect the integrity of the game while encouraging innovation and accelerating your path to approval.
