IT STARTED WITH A QUESTION

My name is CJ. By day, I'm a Vice President in the corporate world. By night and weekends, I'm on the pickleball court — playing 3-4 times a week, competing in local leagues, and chasing that next level in my game.

In 2023, I went looking for a serious paddle upgrade. What I found shocked me: premium paddles were selling for $180-$280, and when I dug into the specs, I discovered something the big brands don't advertise — they all use the same core materials.

Same T700 carbon fiber. Same polymer honeycomb core. Same manufacturing facilities. The only difference? The logo on the face and the marketing budget behind it.

SO I BUILT MY OWN

I connected directly with a manufacturer that produces paddles for three of the biggest names in pickleball. Same factory. Same engineers. Same raw materials.

The result is the Carbon Pro 1 — a paddle built with T700 raw carbon fiber, a 16mm polymer honeycomb core, and an 8.1 oz balanced frame. It's USPA approved for sanctioned play. And it performs toe-to-toe with paddles that cost twice as much.

But I didn't stop there. I was tired of buying a $200 paddle and then spending another $50 on accessories. So every Carbon Pro 1 ships as a complete kit:

Over 500 players have already made the switch.

Why "Weekend Warrior"?

Because that's who I built this for. You're not a sponsored pro. You're the person who grinds all week — meetings, deadlines, family — and lives for game time on Saturday morning. You're competitive. You care about your gear. And you refuse to overpay for it.

I am you. I built the paddle I wanted to play with, at the price I thought was fair. And now over 500 of us are on the court with it.

Engineered for the serious player. Priced for the everyday athlete.
