PXG Launches XP1 & XP2 Pickleball Paddles Expanding Its High-Performance Equipment Lineup into Fast-Growing Sport
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – PXG, a global leader in high-performance golf equipment and apparel, today announced its official entry into the pickleball arena with the launch of its first-ever pickleball paddles: the PXG® XP1™ and PXG® XP2™. This expansion marks PXG’s bold step into a new category – one that is booming in popularity and already winning over millions of golfers across the U.S.
According to the Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP), nearly 50 million adult Americans—almost 1 in 5—played pickleball last year. Notably, nearly one-third of golfers also play pickleball, making the sport a natural fit for PXG’s highly engaged and crossover audience.
The PXG XP1 and XP2 pickleball paddles are meticulously engineered to deliver high-performance play through the integration of advanced materials and design technologies.
At the center of each paddle is a polypropylene honeycomb core, featuring 8mm cells designed to optimize energy transfer while dampening vibration. This core configuration provides a stable, consistent response across the paddle face, promoting both power and precision on contact.
The hitting surface is constructed from 3K woven carbon fiber, selected for its high tensile strength and lightweight composition. This material enhances paddle rigidity while maintaining maneuverability, resulting in superior energy return and shot acceleration.
To augment control and shot manipulation, a precision-textured finish is applied to the carbon fiber face. This engineered texture enhances grip on the ball, allowing for elevated levels of spin and directional control during high-speed rallies.
Encasing the performance technologies is an edgeless aerodynamic profile that minimizes drag and reduces interference on perimeter strikes. This design not only improves swing speed and handling but also maximizes the effective hitting area for consistent performance across a range of playing conditions.
Two Head Shapes, One Standard of Excellence
- PXG XP1 Paddle: Standard paddle shape with a larger sweet spot, ideal for players of all skill levels seeking control, forgiveness, and consistency.
- PXG XP2 Paddle: Elongated design shifts the sweet spot toward the top of the paddle for enhanced reach, power, and ball speed—perfect for experienced and pro-level players.
The PXG XP1 and XP2 Pickleball Paddles are available online at www.PXG.com and at select PXG retail locations.

New York, NY – New York City-based fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore, known for its blend of classic and contemporary style, and FootJoy, the unrivaled leader in golf footwear, proudly announce their inaugural collaboration.

It’s engineered for the golf course and is chosen by some of the best and most style-conscious players in the game, like 14-time PGA TOUR winner, Adam Scott.
The Aimé Leon Dore / FootJoy Premiere Series Field LX represents a new chapter in ALD’s evolving story — continuing to blur the boundaries between classic sportswear and contemporary street style.
