Our thermoformed paddles use this construction method where the paddle’s components are fused into a single, seamless piece through a high-heat molding process.

This has many benefits when compared to cheaper cold-pressed paddles:

• Durability: This method creates an exceptionally durable paddle, reducing the risk of delamination and extending the paddle’s lifespan.
• Consistency: Ensures a consistent feel and performance across the entire paddle.
• Enhanced Power and Control: The solid unibody design provides a more stable and responsive paddle, enhancing both power and control.
• Foam Injected Edges: Enhancing the paddle's sweet spot and overall durability.

In order to participate in certain competitions, such as USA Pickleball sanctioned tournaments and matches that follow USA Pickleball rules pickleball paddles need to be USA Pickleball approved.

Arvo's pickleball paddles are crafted with high quality materials and processes that meet USAPA specifications.

We're in the process of getting our paddles USAP approved so you can use them in sanctioned tournaments. Until then, continue having fun and using them in every recreational event you'd like.
