ACE Pickleball was started by Will and his colleague Brian McDonaugh after Will, a former competitive tennis player, transitioned to pickleball in 2022 and couldn't find a suitable paddle. Combining Will's playing expertise and Brian's industry experience, they created their high-performance flagship paddle, the Spade.

Joola is one of our favorite paddle brands

I'm a big fan of the Collin Johns Scorpeus and the Hyperion CFS 16 was one of, if not the best paddle on the market for quite some time. A lot of pros use Joola and for good reason. They're good paddles.

Times are changing though. Honestly, you don't need to spend Joola prices (^$200) to get a really good paddle. See brands like SixZero or VaticPro.
