At JOOLA, we believe that the voices of our loyal players help shape the future of pickleball. We’ve heard your feedback and concerns about the upcoming 2025 Paddle-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (PBCoR) standard, and we remain committed to supporting you and ensuring that you have the equipment you need to stay at the top of your game.
What you Should Know:
The MOD TA-15 Perseus paddle was designed to meet the USA Pickleball’s (USAP) Static Deflection Standard and received approval in September 2023. However, with the upcoming adoption of the new USAP 2025 Paddle-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (PBCoR) standard, the MOD TA-15 will no longer be compliant for sanctioned tournament play starting July 1, 2025.
At JOOLA, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing the sport by providing cutting-edge gear that meets and exceeds evolving standards. To ensure you continue competing at the highest level, we’re introducing the Pro IV Series, starting with the Perseus Pro IV paddle launching in March 2025. These paddles are meticulously designed to comply with both the new USAP and UPA-A 2025 standards.
