Paddletek just made a major move in the performance paddle world.
In a Dec. 19, 2025 announcement, the company revealed the formation of the Paddletek Group, bringing Paddletek, ProXR, Padeltek, and Yobow under one unified platform. The goal is straightforward: accelerate innovation in high-performance pickleball (and padel) equipment, strengthen support for sponsored athletes, and scale alongside the continued growth of both sports.
Why it matters
For players, this is less about corporate structure and more about what comes next on the court. The merger combines Paddleteks long track record in performance design and manufacturing with ProXRs performance-first approach, creating a bigger R&D engine aimed at helping players elevate their game.
Paddletek also highlighted key milestones:
- More than one million paddles sold, all made in the USA
- The newly formed group is now the No. 2 paddle brand among advanced players, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA)
Whats next
The Paddletek Group says a new performance paddle line is coming next month, combining expertise from across the brands. The group also plans to expand innovation further into padel, a sport growing quickly worldwide.
