What happens when elite ski technology meets uncompromising paddle design? In this behind-the-scenes video, the Pickleball and Beyond YouTube channel showcases how each paddle is hand-assembled with care in Northern Michigan using top-tier American materials.

From the innovative TrueFeel Sidewall Technology—a performance feature borrowed from custom skis—to Toray T1100 carbon fiber used in fighter jets, every detail is dialed in for players who want power, precision, and total confidence on the court.
