This is your opportunity to try the world’s only USAPA tournament approved quiet paddles. Earlier this year, the USAPA started a quest to make quieter paddles, which are approximately 50% quieter than other paddles. The Club has purchased two OWL paddles for members to try. They can then purchase them for their own use. The list below has information on reserving them.
The worlds quietest paddle is available for you to try out if you are interested in purchasing it – The Owl Paddle! This is the first paddle sanctioned by the USA Pickleball Quiet & sanctioned USAP for tournament, league, and event play. There is a Control OWL CX (Grey paddle) and a Power OWL PX (Blue paddle) paddle, each with slightly different handle lengths and weights. The cost of the paddles ranges from $149.00 to $169.00.
The paddles are being stored in the Pickleball Shed, and you can sign them out to try them. The intent is not for people to check it out and play on a regular basis, but for you to have the opportunity to try it out, then purchase if you like it.
If you are interested in trying it out, you can contact one of the following people who have access to the shed and they will check it out to you when they are playing at the courts (you can check YourCourts for their signups!).
