Joola / USAPA GEN 3 Paddle Update, June 5, 2024: Episode 4.1 This is an update to our earlier podcast published today.
Subsequent to our earlier regular full podcast episode the this week, which was jam-packed with lots of cool discussion with Mark, myself and Yui See Lau, the USAPA and Joola issued important updates about all time best seller paddle, the Joola Gen 3 pickleball paddle. The new paddle submitted by Joola has again Failed it's testing and is not deemed Legal by USAPA.
Joola, in response had now offered customers refunds. You should contact your dealer for info. Also a recent class action lawsuit against Joola has been launched but in our estimation it would be better to just get the refund if you don't want to play with the paddle.
Pickleball Canada, the CNPL, CPA Pro Tour all use USAPA regulations and rely on USAPA to approve paddles. So effectively, these paddles can not be used in tournament play in Canada.
Thanks very much.
Let's play Pickleball
