Tecnifibre and SixZero Set to Revolutionize Pickleball: Pickleball’s rise has brought innovation in pickleball equipment. With its blend of accessibility, a short learning curve, and social benefits, the sport has captivated millions. This growth has created a crowded paddle market, attracting established racquet manufacturers and startups. Tecnifibre, a respected name in tennis, squash, and padel, saw an opportunity to venture into this expanding space, despite pickleball’s relatively limited presence in its French home base.
The Collaboration: Tecnifibre and SixZero
Seeking a strong foothold, Tecnifibre partnered with SixZero, an Australian brand renowned for its high-quality paddles like the Ruby and Double Black Diamond models. The partnership aims to combine Tecnifibre’s racquet sports expertise with SixZero’s innovative craftsmanship, reaching broader audiences in both markets.
Exclusive TF Line: Power, Versatility, and Control
The collaboration introduces the TF line, comprising three paddles designed to cater to varying playing styles:
- Select ($219): Built for power.
- Blitz ($199): Optimized for all-court versatility.
- Command ($209): Crafted for enhanced control.
Each paddle incorporates T-Feel technology, using silicone in the handle to minimize vibration, enhancing comfort and precision. The paddles also boast sleek, elegant designs, a testament to both brands’ emphasis on performance and aesthetics.
CEO’s Perspective
Marco Baron, CEO of Tecnifibre, emphasized the alignment of values between the two brands, stating:
Tecnifibre’s strategy in pickleball has always been clear to us: to partner with an industry-leading pickleball brand known for exceptional products, and that brand is SixZero. With SixZero, we can meet a strong demand in the pickleball space and introduce racquet sports players to paddles that reflect our high standards of performance and elegance. We’re excited to bring a new level of performance to our community of racquet sport enthusiasts.” – (Marco Baron)
