The Carvana Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour has announced that the LT Pro 48 Pickleball, developed by Life Time founder Bahram Akradi and his team, will become the official ball for all PPA events starting in August 2025. Designed to address common issues with existing balls, the LT Pro 48 features evenly spaced holes and specially engineered edges to improve flight stability and durability, enhancing the quality of professional play. The ball has already received positive feedback from both professional and amateur players during prior PPA events.
Life Time, a major player in the health and fitness industry with over 800 pickleball courts, is expanding its involvement in the sport by hosting more tournaments, providing thousands of lessons, and launching its own major event, the LT Open. This partnership with the PPA Tour and the introduction of the LT Pro 48 ball signify a commitment to elevating pickleball at all levels, promising better equipment, increased tournament opportunities, and broader access to high-level competition for players nationwide.
