Approved Paddles and Balls for Tournament Play

  • List of Paddles

    Please do not purchase wood paddles as they are heavy and will not have the bounce and control that a paddle with a polymer core, graphite or aluminum will have which provides greater enjoyment in playing the game.

Supplies

Go to the websites of paddle dealers:
Engage, Onix, Selkirk, Paddletek, Wolfe, Pro-Lite, TOPP, HEAD, Gamma, Wilson, Manta, Patriot Pride, Aero, River Styx, Gear Box

Recommended balls for outdoor and indoor play:
Indoor: Onix Pure 2 indoor
Outdoor: Onix Fuse outdoor

These balls are recommended for their durability as they do not crack as easily and retain roundness. In other words, more bang – or dinking – for your buck! The pros choose Dura 40 and Franklin X40 balls because they do not bounce as high as Onix balls which allows for a better third shot drop.
