It's uncertain how this will correspond with existing USA Pickleball certification and whether non-professionals will need designated paddles for UPA or USAP tournaments. 🏓 We're not suggesting you stick with your JOOLA Gen3, especially since their customer service team reportedly isn't responding to calls at the moment. 📞

🎾 JOOLA has announced that they've officially filed a suit against USA Pickleball. It’s been just over a week since USAP upheld its decision to keep the Gen 3 paddles off of the list after removing them in mid-May.

JOOLA has maintained that the Gen 3 paddles that hit the market in April are “materially and structurally the same” as paddles that were approved by USAP back in September and suggested that their removal from the Approved Paddle List would result in legal action. ⚖️

In the latest installment of the JOOLA Gen 3 paddle saga, USA Pickleball has announced that the recently submitted paddles did not meet approved equipment standards. 🏓❌

This means that the paddles will remain absent from the Approved Paddles List. 📋🚫

They were removed from the list on May 15 when JOOLA informed USAP that it had submitted the wrong paddles for certification back in November. 😬❗

Just Tuesday, UPA announced a $50k fine 💸 and a 60-day suspension ⛔ for Andrei Daescu. Less than 24 hours later, the #PPA has banned the JOOLA Gen3 paddles from competition 🚫🏓.

"Those #Paddles are not approved due to a discrepancy with USAP. Paddles need to be listed on USAP and pass PPA testing protocols tested by the independent laboratory PPL. Thank you for your understanding," said the tour in a statement.
