F+B Sports Unveils Their First Line of USA-Made Pickleball Paddles
In a notable move for the niche sporting goods market, F+B Sports has officially launched its inaugural collection of pickleball paddles, featuring designs constructed entirely from materials manufactured in the USA. Founded by innovators Jason and Roland Christensen, the brand aims to elevate the standards of pickleball equipment with cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design that meets the needs of players of all levels.
The RUNOUT Paddle Series
The centerpiece of this launch is the RUNOUT paddle series, which includes three distinct shapes tailored to different playing styles: the RUNOUT-S, RUNOUT-E, and RUNOUT-H. Each model has been meticulously crafted to provide specific advantages on the court:
- - RUNOUT-S: Crafted for agility and quick response, this standard-shaped paddle is ideal for players who favor precision and maneuverability.
- - RUNOUT-E: With its elongated design, this paddle delivers powerful strokes and maximum reach, perfect for aggressive gameplay.
- - RUNOUT-H: Blending both control and power, this hybrid shape accommodates a versatile playing style, appealing to casual and competitive players alike.
As a testament to its quality, each paddle is approved by USA Pickleball, ensuring players get a product that meets the strict standards of this rapidly growing sport.
Innovation Through Experience
F+B Sports leverages the extensive background of its founders in the aerospace and sporting goods industries to create these paddles. Known for their award-winning products, the team has a strong foundation in material science and carbon fiber manufacturing, a field renowned for its strength and lightweight properties. They apply this expertise to their new pickleball paddles, enabling players to benefit from the same high-quality materials used in aerospace applications.
Stephen Mijangos, the Pickleball Product Lead at F+B Sports, emphasizes the company’s commitment to innovation: "We are experts in carbon fiber composites, and applying our decades of experience in material science to paddle design felt like a natural progression. With our advanced aerospace-grade testing equipment at our disposal, we are excited to bring a level of engineering excellence to pickleball paddles that has previously been rare in the market."
Patented Technology for Superior Performance
The RUNOUT paddles utilize a proprietary technology known as FUSIONFIBER®, which is a hybrid of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. Unlike traditional paddles that often use plastic edge guards, FUSIONFIBER® creates a durable edge guard that enhances impact protection while maintaining the paddle's balance and feel. Additionally, the paddles feature a FUSIONFIBER® handle, replacing older materials like foam or wood. This upgrade significantly reduces vibration during play and ensures a firm, confident grip, empowering players to perform at their best.
Promotion and Availability
Starting October 23rd, these innovative paddles will be available for purchase at FandBsports.com, with a special launch promotion offering a 10% discount through October 31st when customers use the code "RUNOUT10" at checkout.
A Commitment to American Craftsmanship
F+B Sports was born out of a desire to bring a premium quality, USA-produced product to the ever-expanding pickleball community. Their aim is to provide players with equipment that not only performs at a high level but also embodies American innovation and craftsmanship. The brand's commitment to producing locally crafted products sets them apart in a market often saturated with generic imports.
Whether a newcomer to the sport or an experienced player, the RUNOUT paddle series promises to enhance the pickleball experience, offering a perfect blend of technology, design, and American-made quality. With this launch, F+B Sports is poised to help reshape the landscape of pickleball equipment.
