The Court Fund — keep the record, fund a court

A $25 patron pass. Half keeps the register current. Half buys real things for local courts, on a public ledger.

The Paddle Register is free, has no affiliate links, and is now ninety-two paddles across three years. Keeping it current costs research and hours. Here is how it stays free without becoming a store. A patron pass is twenty-five dollars a season. Half goes to the house: hosting, the weekly research that checks every paddle against both approval lists, the hours. Half goes into the Court Fund, which buys concrete things for courts within a few miles of where this is written. Season one's candidates: a ball machine for El Segundo Recreation Park, two nets and a season of balls for Hollyglen, a block of youth hours at California Smash. Patrons vote. When the fund can cover a pick, it gets bought, and the receipt and a photo go on the ledger. The ledger is the point. Every dollar in is a dated line. The split is two numbers next to the total. No payout is recorded without a receipt; the page will not show one. A pass buys nothing on the register that anyone else cannot read: a vote, a name on the wall if you want it, and your corrections reviewed first. Every paddle page now has a corrections door too. A claim needs a source URL; accepted ones land in the changes feed with that source. That is the other way the record gets kept. Until the checkout opens, the page takes pledges: a count, no money, no email. That count is what opens it.

The Paddle Register, v2 — compare, legal, field reports

Lay two paddles over each other to scale. Ask which list each one is on. Log the hours until the grit goes.

The register opened this morning with one page per paddle. Tonight it can answer three more questions. Which of these two? /paddles/compare takes two to four paddles and draws their outlines on top of each other, to scale, handles aligned at the butt, with the record beside them: dates, prices, approvals, dimensions, core layers, and each lab's swingweight with the lab's name on it. A widebody over an elongated over a hybrid, and you can see why one feels quicker. Can I bring it? /paddles/legal sorts the whole register by rulebook: on the USA Pickleball list, on the UPA-A list for the pro tours, in the quiet category, and the paddles that are on one list and not the other, with the reason. It says what each official list carried on the day it was checked and links to both. How long does it last? Nobody measures a paddle at hour sixty. The Bag on Rally now has one button that sends an anonymous wear report to the register: hours, sessions, the hour the grit first faded, the hour it went dead. No name, no device id. Once three reports are in for a paddle, its page shows the medians, marked self-reported and unaudited. Also tonight: a who-plays-what table with dates and sources, a changes feed with RSS so no edit to the record is silent, the 2024 backfill, and published dimensions for every paddle that was drawn from a nominal outline this morning.

The Paddle Register — one page for every paddle

The labs measure paddles. This keeps the record: dates, prices, where each one is legal, how it is built.

There are good paddle databases already. John Kew, Pickleball Effect, Pickleball Studio and Matt's Pickleball each run a lab, and each will tell you how hard a paddle hits and how much it spins on the day it was tested. None of them keeps the other record: when a paddle actually went on sale, what it listed for, whether it is legal under USA Pickleball, under the pro tours' UPA-A, or on the quiet list, where its brand stands in JOOLA's patent case, and what has happened to it since. The register keeps that. Sixty-eight paddles from thirty-three brands so far, 2025 to now, each on a permanent page at /paddles. A page carries the launch date and how precisely it is known, a timeline of approvals, preorders, price cuts and delistings, the construction layer by layer, published dimensions and any swingweight a lab has measured with the lab's name on it, and links out to every lab that reviewed it. There are a little over two hundred of those links. Power, pop and spin numbers stay with the people who own the radar guns. Checking every paddle against the two approval lists changed the calendar. The Franklin Aurelius did pass USA Pickleball, on March 5. Four paddles are legal on the pro tours only, because their durable grit is too rough for USAP's surface test: Six Zero's Coral Pro, Honolulu's Crystal Blue, and both 11SIX24 lines. Several launch dates in circulation turn out to be review dates; the register uses on-sale and store-listing dates and says which. The pictures are drawings. Each paddle is drawn to scale from its published dimensions, with the right half of the face cut away to show the core. Product photos belong to the brands, and every page links to theirs. The same drawing is the share card, so a link pasted into a group chat shows the outline, the price, the date and the approvals. The other half lives on Rally. The Bag is a local log of the hours you put on each paddle, when the grit fades and when it goes dead, because nobody measures a paddle at hour sixty. It stays on your device. The whole register is CC0, one JSON file, with two MCP tools for agents: paddle_lookup and paddle_calendar.

The 2026 Paddle Calendar — every release, dated and sourced

38 launches, 27 brands, the rules and lawsuits between them, and a forecast that shows its work.

Thirty-eight pickleball paddle releases from twenty-seven brands, January through the three drops still ahead: JOOLA's first foam paddle on September 30, Gearbox's Pressure X on October 1, the same day USA Pickleball's 2,100 RPM spin test takes effect, and the RPM Jade the week after. Each one is dated, priced, and linked to where the fact came from, with a confidence mark and a note on how precisely the date is known. Read whole, the calendar says a few things. Foam won: thirty of the thirty-eight are full-foam builds, and the last holdouts moved this year. With power capped, the fight went to grit that lasts, and nearly every challenger launched a named surface. The $99 paddle now has the features of last year's $220 paddle, while the top held at $280 to $300 and added tuning weights to justify it. Patents became a design constraint: JOOLA took eleven brands to the ITC, eight have settled, and three of this year's launches already have end dates because of it. The news runs alongside the releases in the same ledger: Waters to Franklin, Selkirk's first outside money and its purchase of Bread & Butter, Paddletek Group buying PIKKL, the PPA's three-week Proton ban, the field-testing numbers. Below that are company files on twenty-nine brands, a signings table, and the lab numbers on grit retention. The forecast runs to spring 2027 and labels what each call rests on: a rule, a release pattern, an inference, or an open question. None of it is inside information. Every row now opens that paddle's own page in the register at /paddles. The same calendar lives on Rally, and the whole dataset is one CC0 JSON file.

The Paddle Fund — a new paddle every week

Ten seats, twenty dollars a week. Take it, punt it, or pass it on.

A $200 paddle every six months costs $7.69 a week if you save for it alone. Ten players putting in $20 a week is exactly $200, which is one paddle, every week. So the Paddle Fund runs as a sprint: ten seats, ten weeks, a paddle lands every week until everyone has had a turn. Two sprints a year, sixteen weeks off between them, $400 a year and nobody plays a dead paddle. The order is never a draw. Your standing on the Rally ladder at kickoff is your slot, and the club votes the direction: champions first, or bottom of the ladder first as a handicap. When your week comes up you make one of three calls. Take the paddle you pick. Punt, and your $200 waits under your name so next sprint you are holding $400. Or pass it to a new player or the loaner bag. Ordering as a team banks a discount, and that side pot is the only prize. It pays out for the ladder, for improvement, for showing up, or the club punts it toward a ball machine. Dollars in equal dollars out, new seats unbox late, and the ledger is one public line a week. What is live today is the rehearsal: a pretend two-sprint year at /paddle-fund, with the table hosted on Rally. Pretend money, no wallet. The savings circle contract, the countersigned ladder, and memo-tagged receipts already exist on Tezos. The paddle circle itself is not built yet.
