Selkirk Sports, the leader in developing pickleball paddle has given Hugh a vast range of their demo paddles for you to try. Please do not buy a paddle unless you have totally tested a few.
Contact Hugh if you wish to test a few of the Selkirk paddles.
I don't sell paddles but I did a deal with a retail outlet to get a reduced price for those I refer to them.

Selkirk has promised to spend on R&D and the latest releases display innovation in the 003 and the Vanguard power air. The latter will be available next week and the ever popular 003 is now in the stores.
Both of these new additions in demo format will be in Rick's hands on August 26 and you are free to come and try them. The 003 is now my go to paddle and features additional control, consistency, next level aerodynamics and finally edge durability with edgeless technology. Both paddles feature a larger air dynamic throat and throat flex giving you less wind resistance and a larger dwell time to maximize power and spin.

You gotta love Selkirk and their commitment to help you improve your game.

Hugh Bohm has now joined team SELKIRK Sport as a teaching advocate for their product line of high quality paddles and gear.

This group of folks devote extensive resources to their R&D program, Hugh calls them the TESLA of pickleball and they were recently recognized as the “Manufacturer of the Year” by Racquet Sports Industry Magazine.

Hugh does not sell their products but plays with and carries Demo’s for the 2 top paddle models called Amped and Vanguard.

Both are about 3/4” thick and the Amped has a fibreglass face and the Vanguard has a unique double layer of carbon fibre on each side. Both models are recognized for their wonderful balance of power and control.

The high price tag does reflect both paddle quality and Selkirk’s dedication to costly R&D.
You can now play with much heavier weights as vibrations that formerly were transferred to and caused shoulder pain are now absorbed by their paddles technology. Hugh plays with 8.2 oz paddles much above the previous 7.6 oz paddles.

SERVING

Players can now drop the ball and let it bounce and hit their serve or you can continue to serve the way we have been accustomed. So you can put the ball on your paddle and drop it or drop it from your hand and it seems that the ball can bounce once or even twice before you choose to hit your serve.
This huge change in game was designed for those that perhaps have only one arm or hand or have some sort of injury in which only one hand or arm is operative.
Regardless anybody can serve either traditionally or with the bounce.

We had 85 pages of changes or clarifications to the rule book in 2020 and we now have another 77 pages for the 2021 edition. I've sent the USAPA a note commenting on the too numerous changes in the past 2 years. We "serve" lots of older folks in our community and its unfair to hit them with this significant number of changes.
Feel free to write them with your comments.

Wooden Paddles
Wooden factory manufactured pickleball paddles are generally USAPA approved for sanctioned tournament play.
Referees will check the surfaces of paddles as part of their replay regime to ensure that the surfaces are sufficiently smooth.
A wood paddle that has gouges on the surface whether caused by normal wear & tear or otherwise constitutes an illegal paddle and provides the user with an unfair advantage whether they play in a tournament or in recreational play.
