Here are some paddles that have been banned or will be banned from USA Pickleball-sanctioned events:

• JOOLA paddles: The following JOOLA paddles have been banned:

  • Tyson McGuffin Magnus 3 

  • Collin Johns Scorpeus 3 

  • Anna Bright Scorpeus 3 

  • Simone Jardim Hyperion 3 

  • Ben Johns Hyperion 3

  • All Alpha 2024 lines of the Magnus, Perseus, Hyperion, and Scorpeus paddles 

  • All JOOLA Gen 3 paddles 

• Gearbox paddles: The Pro Power Elongated paddle will be banned starting July 1, 2025 

• ProKennex paddles: The following ProKennex paddles will be banned starting July 1, 2025:

  • Black Ace Ovation 

  • Black Ace Pro 

  • Black Ace LG 

  • Black Ace XF 

USA Pickleball banned these paddles because they exceed the organization's new Paddle/Ball Coefficient of Restitution (PBCoR) standard. The PBCoR test measures how much the ball speeds up after it comes off the paddle. USA Pickleball says that the increased power from the "trampoline effect" can make the sport less about skill, control, and finesse. 

The paddles will remain eligible for use in USAP-sanctioned events until July 1, 2025.
