In 1984, Prolite Sports, a family owned business was born and created the very first composite pickleball paddle. Their goals are crystal clear; produce paddles geared for a variety of player types, made of the best materials available, supported by steller customer service, and back it all with a solid warranty and distinct identity. Prolite continues to give back to its community through free clinics, donating gear to schools, veterans programs and other worthy causes.
