In close partnership with Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, JOOLA recently launched a new line of pickleball paddles inspired by the style and standards of the tennis greats.
The new shape of the paddles -- the first of its kind -- was crafted from Agassi's and Graf's vision and was developed with JOOLA’s equipment team to meet the demands of pickleball players of all abilities.
The new line will have multiple tiers of paddles -- Champion, Edge and Pro, although the Pro line has not been released yet.
Below is a brief look at the Edge and Champion paddles, which are geared toward beginner and intermediate players.
JOOLA Agassi and Graf Edge paddles
The influence of Agassi and Graf is apparent in the unique shape of this line of paddles and the long handle, providing plenty of room for two-handed backhands for those coming over from tennis.
The 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core is geared more toward control, although there is an SK sheet between the core and hitting surface that adds pop.
The Graf version has a slightly smaller handle circumference.
Both paddles are USAP and UPA-A approved.
