Washington State University tested and verified this patented 38-hole design, finding it produced more lift and less drag than major competing pickleballs. This attention to detail for the Pro S1's shape sets it apart, but so does its unmatched durability. Seamless construction resists cracking, backed by a 1-year no-crack warranty — the first of its kind in the industry.

One of Doylestown Pickleball’s  biggest initiatives has been supporting schools as they introduce and grow the sport of pickleball in their physical education programs. To date, we’ve had the privilege of guiding and providing equipment to over 168 different PE programs across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Some of the schools and districts we’ve worked with include the Philadelphia School District, Central Bucks School District, several New Jersey schools, and Lehigh University. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated their old paddles or extra balls! Because of your generosity, today we were able to send 48 paddles and 100 balls to Central Bucks South High School. We also want to extend a huge thank you to Selkirk for their generosity in supporting this initiative by providing paddles to help more students get into the game. Their contribution has made an incredible impact in helping schools introduce pickleball to their students. If you would like to contribute to the next school in need, you can drop off paddles in our paddle donation bin at the store. Thank you to all the Doylestown Pickleball members, Selkirk, and the local community for making this possible. Your support is helping to grow the game for the next generation!
