On June 12, 2024, JOOLA filed a lawsuit against USA Pickleball (USAP) in the United States District Court for Maryland to address the actions related to the removal of JOOLA Gen3 paddles from the Approved Paddle List. We firmly believe our Gen3 paddles are compliant with all applicable published rules (as evidenced by their prior approval) and should not have been removed from the Approved Paddle List. We are disappointed that we were forced to resort to legal measures, but after pursuing multiple avenues in attempts to reach a mutually acceptable resolution, we believe the filing of this suit was both warranted and necessary.   
  
JOOLA will continue to prioritize the needs of our customers who have been unfairly impacted by USAP’s decision as we navigate legal proceedings. We thank our community for its ongoing support as we continue to advocate for our people, products, and the sport of pickleball.
