Reload Pickleball Paddle: Reload Pickleball has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation set to transform the sport. Traditionally, players had to replace their entire paddle after signs of wear. Recent research shows that a pickleball paddle surface can degrade up to 50% within 30 days of regular use, leading dedicated players to purchase four to five paddles annually. Reload’s new system offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution, allowing players to replace just the surface grit, significantly reducing costs and environmental impact.
The Reload Paddle System
Nick Bicanic, Founder and CEO, highlights, “This is not a paddle. This is a paddle system. Reload is a premium paddle with a replaceable raw carbon fiber surface. In under ten seconds, you have the feel of a brand-new paddle for 1/6th of the price of a replacement.” Unlike the estimated 700 paddles that end up in landfills each year, the Reload Paddle System stands alone in its sustainability. The system is USAP-approved and patented for its replaceable surfaces.
Professional Endorsements
Before its official launch, the product generated significant buzz, attracting the interest of players and professionals eager to test it out. Reload has already signed professional pickleball player Christine Maddox, ranked number twenty in the world, who competes on both the PPA and APP tours.
Addressing Community Needs
The pickleball community has long awaited a design overhaul that meets the needs of serious players. Traditional paddles, which degrade quickly and are sold at premium prices, have strained those dedicated to improving their game. Troy Hamner, Founder and COO, offers a compelling analogy: “When your tires wear out, you don’t throw away the whole car, you replace the tires. Now we can do that with pickleball paddles.” The Reload Paddle System generates 800% less waste than other carbon fiber paddles, with the sheets being recyclable for other products. All packaging is FSC certified, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Official Launch Event
The Reload Paddle System and its replaceable sheets are available for purchase on their website. The official launch event will take place on Sunday, August 4th, at the Santa Monica Pickleball Center. The event, featuring live music, product demos, and open play from 6-9 pm, will be attended by Reload Founders and professional player Christine Maddox.
