How did the pickleball paddle evolve from wood to the lighter paddle most people use today? It all started with a competitive pickleball player who was tired of losing! As part of Pickleball History month, Pickleball Channel takes a look at the very first light-weight paddle made out of composite material. Hear from Arlen Paranto and his son, pickleball champion Steve Paranto, as they tell the story of how they started making pickleball paddles in 1984 in their garage from leftover scrap material! Learn how these new paddles gave players an advantage and ultimately changed the sport into what we play today.
