PXG Launches First-Ever Pickleball Paddles: The PXG® XP1TM and PXG® XP2TM
PXG Serves Up Innovation with Launch of First Pickleball Paddles
Scottsdale, AZ (May 29, 2025) – In a bold move that reflects the surging popularity of pickleball, PXG, a global leader in high-performance golf equipment and apparel, has officially entered the pickleball arena with the launch of its inaugural paddles: the PXG® XP1™ and PXG® XP2™. This expansion taps into a rapidly growing sport that has captured the hearts of millions, particularly among golfers.
According to the Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP), nearly 50 million adult Americans—almost one in five—played pickleball last year. Notably, about one-third of golfers also engage in the sport, making this new venture a natural fit for PXG’s dedicated and crossover audience.
“We’ve always focused on innovation and premium performance,” said PXG Chief Product Officer Brad Schweigert. “As pickleball rapidly becomes the alternative go-to sport, we saw the opportunity to bring PXG’s engineering expertise to the court.”
Cutting-Edge Design Meets Performance
The PXG XP1 and XP2 paddles are meticulously engineered to enhance play through advanced materials and design technologies. At the heart of each paddle lies a polypropylene honeycomb core, featuring 8mm cells that optimize energy transfer while dampening vibrations. This configuration ensures a stable, consistent response across the paddle face, promoting both power and precision on contact.
The hitting surface is crafted from 3K woven carbon fiber, chosen for its high tensile strength and lightweight properties. This material enhances paddle rigidity while maintaining maneuverability, resulting in superior energy return and shot acceleration. A precision-textured finish on the carbon fiber face elevates grip on the ball, allowing players to achieve greater spin and directional control during fast-paced rallies.
Tailored for Every Player
The paddles come in two distinct head shapes to cater to different playing styles:
-
PXG XP1 Paddle: Featuring a standard shape with a larger sweet spot, this paddle is ideal for players of all skill levels seeking control, forgiveness, and consistency.
- PXG XP2 Paddle: With an elongated design that shifts the sweet spot toward the top, this paddle enhances reach, power, and ball speed—perfect for experienced and pro-level players.
Both paddles boast an edgeless aerodynamic profile that minimizes drag and reduces interference on perimeter strikes, improving swing speed and handling while maximizing the effective hitting area.
