BIGGER. <b>BOLDER.</b> BETTER.
Today, Paddletek is announcing the formation of Paddletek Group, a new parent organization that brings together the Paddletek and ProXR brands under a unified structure.
Paddletek, a leading provider of performance pickleball paddles and padel rackets, today announced the creation of Paddletek Group. This move unites Paddletek, ProXR, Padeltek, and Yobow under Paddletek Group, a merger that will advance the group’s development of high-performance pickleball and padel equipment, support for sponsored athletes, and impact on continued growth of both pickleball and padel through innovative technology.
This announcement reflects a strategic step forward in strengthening our platform for innovation, product development, and long-term growth. By unifying these brands, Paddletek Group is better positioned to support athletes, serve players at every level, and deliver innovative, performance-driven products to the global pickleball community.
What does not change is our commitment to our authorized retailers. Paddletek Group will continue operating both the Paddletek and ProXR businesses, maintaining existing relationships, sales channels, and customer support structures. There will be no immediate changes to ordering processes, pricing, or distribution as a result of today’s announcement.
Looking ahead, Paddletek Group plans to introduce a new performance paddle line in early 2026, reflecting continued investment in design, technology, and playability and leveraging the strengths of both brands. Additional details will be shared closer to launch.
