Uniquely shaped pickleball racket used in competition in the US

(Dan Tri) - On pickleball forums, images of a racket with a unique shape are spreading, recognized by the United States Pickleball Association (USAP) as meeting standards and allowed to be used for professional competition.

According to the American newspaper Time Now, the racket named "The Drone Attack" meets all requirements set by USAP and is allowed to appear on large and small courts in the US.

Although the shape of this racket is a bit unusual with a cross-shaped handle, the performance it provides is no different from other standard rackets.

The slightly different appearance makes many people think that the racket is the result of a manufacturing error. However, this is considered an innovative product made by The Paddle manufacturer and complies with strict regulations set by USAP.

According to the manufacturer, "The Drone Attack" was created to innovate and develop the sport of pickleball. Instead of traditional shaped rackets, the American manufacturer wanted to find products that support the new playing style of athletes.

The Paddle hopes that the improved handle will help support and reduce pressure on the wrist for players when competing and practicing. With the hope of finding new things in pickleball, the manufacturer is conducting other tests on "The Drone Attack" to see how well it plays and whether it can be widely used in the future.

Besides "The Drone Attack" another product with a special shape, announced by the manufacturer Bird Pickleball, will help reduce pressure on the wrist, that is Falcon Elite.

According to the manufacturer, in addition to comfort, the Falcon Elite also delivers powerful shots thanks to its super-stiff carbon fiber racquet face and 14mm thick polypropylene honeycomb core.
