Brisbane, Australia – 6th November 2024
JOOLA Australia is pleased to announce that its new JOOLA 3s range of pro pickleball paddles, certified under the United Pickleball Association of America (UPA-A) Interim Paddle Certification Program, has been approved for use in Pickleball Australia Association (PAA) sanctioned tournaments. This approval follows the recent announcement by the PAA, which has provisionally adopted the UPA-A’s approved paddle list, effective immediately.
The UPA-A, a leading governing body in pickleball, has established a rigorous certification process to ensure that paddles meet high standards of durability and performance. With this provisional adoption, JOOLA’s UPA-A certified 3S paddles are authorised for competitive play at all PAA sanctioned events, allowing players to compete confidently.
The JOOLA 3s range, built to meet UPA-A’s stringent, objective performance standards, offers players exceptional precision, durability, and control—all critical for high-level play. The UPA-A certification process ensures paddles meet durability and performance requirements throughout their lifecycle, reinforcing JOOLA’s commitment to supporting players at every stage of competition.
