Bison Paddles was founded by Daniel and Collin after countless hours of pickleball led them to realize the need for affordable yet reliable paddles. Struggling to find a quality paddle while in college, they created Bison Paddles to offer premium pickleball equipment at a budget-friendly price, ensuring that players of all skill levels can enjoy the game without overspending.

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.
