ProLite

ProLite revolutionized the pickleball world back in 1984, when Arlen Paranto, a Boeing engineer, saw an opportunity to make the game better. While most players were still using heavy wooden paddles, Paranto realized the lightweight materials used in the aerospace industry could change the game. He sourced surplus panels from Boeing and transformed them into the first composite pickleball paddles. This innovation set the stage for the modern paddles we see today, with enhanced performance and durability.

Fast-forward to the present, and ProLite remains a pioneer in the pickleball scene. What began as an innovative idea has evolved into a legacy of excellence. Today, their paddles, made from advanced materials like graphite and fiberglass, are renowned for their balance of power and precision. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, ProLite’s paddles offer an unmatched playing experience.

Under the guidance of Neil Friedenberg, ProLite has stayed true to its roots as a family-owned business, continuing to push boundaries in paddle technology while catering to players of all skill levels. Trusted by top athletes and casual players alike, ProLite has maintained its reputation for quality and performance, helping shape the future of pickleball.
