Key Features
1. Cost-Effective Cold Pressed Construction
Cold pressing is a mature, efficient manufacturing process that significantly reduces production cost and lead time compared to hot pressed or thermoformed paddles. This makes it the ideal choice for:
- Startups entering the pickleball market with limited budgets
- Clubs needing bulk inventory at affordable price points
- Promotional / giveaway programs requiring large quantities
Despite the lower cost, every paddle undergoes strict QC to ensure consistency in weight, balance, and playability.
2. PU Reinforced Handle — No Breakage Guarantee
Handle breakage is the 1 complaint in budget cold pressed pickleball paddles. Our R&D team developed a specially formulated PU handle that absorbs impact and distributes stress evenly. This innovation effectively eliminates the snapping problem commonly found in low-cost paddles, giving your brand a reliability advantage in the market.
3. Ceramic Sand Infused (CSI) Surface Technology (Optional Upgrade)
Our CSI technology embeds industrial-grade ceramic particles directly into the resin matrix of the paddle face. Unlike traditional spray-on grit that wears off within weeks:
| Performance Metric | Conventional Surface | CSI Surface |
|---|---|---|
| Spin loss after 100 hits | ~100 RPM | ~40 RPM |
| Friction durability | Standard | 2× longer |
| Grit lifespan | Months | Significantly longer |
- Available in 4 colors: Black (natural), Blue, Green, Yellow
- Can be applied to fiberglass or carbon fiber faces
- Grit options: 80 mesh (coarse) or 100 mesh (fine)
Lab tested — ideal for brands positioning around premium spin performance without the high cost of full thermoformed construction.
4. Tight Weight Control (±5g)
Weight consistency is critical for brand reputation. Each paddle is individually weighed and sorted to ensure all paddles in your order fall within 225g ±5g tolerance. Custom weight targets are also available on request.
5. Fast Production & Delivery
With a dedicated cold press production line and 100,000 pcs monthly capacity:
| Order Size | Lead Time |

FAQ
Q1: What is the minimum order for wholesale pickleball paddles?
A: 200 pcs per design. Clubs and schools evaluating a new model can start with a sample order (7–15 days) before committing to a production run.
Q2: Which paddle is best for a school PE program or beginner classes?
A: A cold pressed fiberglass paddle with PP honeycomb core — lowest cost, fastest production, easy to clean, and durable enough for daily class rotation. For programs that want more longevity, the same shape in a thermoformed carbon fiber build is a popular upgrade.
Q3: Do you offer youth and junior sizes?
A: Yes. Junior paddles at 160–170g (35 × 17cm, 13mm) and women’s models at 207–220g, with three grip circumferences (#0/#1/#2) for smaller hands.
Q4: What is the lead time for a bulk order?
A: Samples take 7–15 days from design confirmation. Mass production runs approximately 30–40 days for 2,000 pcs, depending on construction. We plan around back-to-school and spring season deadlines — share your required delivery date and we’ll confirm the schedule.
Q5: Are the paddles USAP approved?
A: Our designs are USAP / UPA-A compliant and pre-tested in-house. For custom-branded models, we support the full submission process so your school or club paddles are eligible for sanctioned league play.
Q6: Can we put our school or club logo on the paddles?
A: Yes — full OEM/ODM branding: face graphics (UV, silkscreen, heat transfer), grip color and logo, edge guard color, end cap logo, silicone band, and custom packaging.
Q7: Do you offer tiered pricing for larger quantities?
A: Yes. As a factory, our pricing is factory-direct and volume-based. Send us your target quantity, construction and spec, and we’ll quote tiered pricing for your program.
Q8: Can we mix different paddle models in one order?
A: Yes — the 200 pcs MOQ applies per design. Many programs combine entry-level fiberglass paddles for classes with premium carbon fiber models for teams in a single consolidated shipment.
Q9: How do you ensure quality across a large institutional order?
A: Multi-point QC from layup to packaging: weight and balance checks per batch, surface finish inspection, and pre-shipment inspection. We control weight to 225g ±5g so every paddle in your order plays the same.
Q10: What are the shipping and payment terms?
A: We ship from Shenzhen / Shanghai / Ningbo by sea or air. Payment via T/T, L/C, or Western Union, with a proforma invoice provided for school and institutional procurement processes.
