We have decided to relaunch this paddle with durable grit. Our loss is your gain. The result is this first batch of paddles will not be approved and as such we are selling them at a heavy discount for players who might not care about approval, or might only play recreationally. It is our belief that this paddle would pass USAP if sent and as such is a acceptable paddle for unsanctioned play. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the best deal in pickleball for casual players.
