Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport, and as more players become serious about their game, the need for equipment that meets official standards is increasing. That’s why it’s important for us at SportYouUp that our pickleball paddles from Hundred are USA Pickleball Approved (USAP) – the most recognized certification in pickleball.
What does USA Pickleball Approved mean?
USA Pickleball is the organization that sets the official rules and equipment standards in pickleball. When a paddle is USA Pickleball Approved, it means it has been tested and approved for use in official matches and tournaments. Previously, the approval was called USAPA Approved, but today it is known as USA Pickleball Approved or simply USAP.
The certification ensures that the paddle meets regulations for size and shape, that the surface does not provide unfair advantages in play, and that performance and quality are consistent at a level expected by serious players.
Why is certification important?
For you as a player, USAP approval means you can use your paddle for both training and tournaments without concern. You’re playing with a paddle that performs predictably, feels right during play, and meets the same standards used in tournaments worldwide. This makes it a safe choice whether you’re new to pickleball or aiming to compete at a higher level.
