How do I check if my paddle is USA Pickleball approved?

Use the search bar above to type your paddle name or brand. Each paddle displays a clear status badge: a green shield for approved, a red shield for banned, or a gray shield for unknown status. You can also filter by status to see all approved or banned paddles at once.

What happens if I play with a banned paddle in a tournament?

If you use a banned paddle in a sanctioned USA Pickleball tournament, you risk disqualification. Tournament directors have the authority to check paddle approval status before or during matches. Players are responsible for ensuring their equipment meets current regulations.

How often is the approved paddle list updated?

We sync our paddle approval data regularly with official USA Pickleball sources. Our database is refreshed every few days to reflect the latest additions, removals, and status changes. Check the badge on any paddle for its current approval status.

What is the USA Pickleball approved paddle list?

The USA Pickleball approved paddle list is the official registry of paddles that meet equipment standards set by USA Pickleball (formerly USAPA). Paddles must pass specific tests for surface roughness, dimensions, weight, and deflection to earn approval. Only approved paddles are legal for use in sanctioned tournament play.
