Frequently Asked Questions
OEM / ODM & Engineering Services
Are KASACA-manufactured paddles compliant with USA Pickleball standards?
KASACA has hands-on experience developing paddles that have successfully passed USA Pickleball certification, with approved KASACA models publicly listed on the official Approved Paddle List.
This practical experience allows us to support OEM/ODM partners from the early development stage, helping optimize product specifications, streamline the certification process, and reduce the risk of costly redesigns or failed submissions.
What engineering tolerances does KASACA maintain during mass manufacturing?
We maintain a strict weight tolerance within ±2.0″g” , thickness variance under ±0.25″mm” , and balance point deviation within ±3.0″mm” across automated production batches.
Does KASACA handle the submission process for official USA Pickleball (USAPA) testing?
Yes. We provide full laboratory prep and compliance documentation support, submitting production-run paddles directly to the official USA Pickleball testing center on behalf of your brand.
Can we order multi-material hybrid paddle layups (e.g., carbon fiber mixed with fiberglass)?
Yes. Our composite engineering lab can engineer customized hybrid laminates, such as multi-directional carbon weaves over elastic fiberglass base layers, to balance stiffness and dwell time.
Can you customize paddle core materials and graphic cosmetics?
Absolutely. We support bespoke configurations including raw T700 carbon fiber, fiberglass faces, polymer honeycomb cores (13mm/16mm), thermoformed edge walls, custom handle lengths, and high-definition UV or screen printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Product Specifications & Technical Science
What is "Swing Weight" versus "Static Weight," and why does it matter?
Static weight measures the paddle on a scale, while Swing Weight measures the rotational inertia during dynamic swing movement. A lower swing weight (<110) enables rapid net resets, whereas a higher swing weight (>115) provides maximum drive plow-through.
Which paddle weight is best for players prone to tennis elbow?
Players with wrist or elbow strain should choose a midweight paddle (7.8 to 8.2 oz) paired with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Avoid overly light paddles, as they transfer more shock and vibration directly to your arm joints.
Why are foam-injected perimeter walls used inside advanced paddle edges?
High-density foam injected around the honeycomb edges dampens acoustic impact noise, reinforces structural rigidity against off-center hits, and stabilizes the outer edge perimeter to prevent frame twist.
What is the difference between raw carbon fiber and fiberglass paddles?
Raw T700 carbon fiber offers superior surface texture for maximum topspin generation and predictable ball control. Fiberglass provides a softer trampoline effect, delivering more effortless exit velocity on deep drives.
How to clean and maintain a raw carbon fiber paddle to preserve spin?
Use a specialized raw carbon paddle eraser (cleaning block) regularly to wipe away accumulated plastic ball dust without damaging the micro-peel ply texture. Never use liquid chemical solvents or abrasive brushes, and avoid storing your paddle in extreme vehicle heat to protect the core integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale, Distribution & Retail Partnerships
Are exclusive territory distribution rights available for local sports agencies?
Yes. Exclusive regional or country distribution rights are evaluated based on verified market sales channels, retail store penetration, and agreed annual minimum purchasing commitments.
How do you handle mass production timelines and worldwide shipping?
Mass production typically requires 4 to 8 weeks depending on order size. We provide comprehensive logistics support, including EXW, FOB, and DDP shipping via ocean and air freight to North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Do you provide custom retail packaging and private-label barcode printing?
We provide complete retail packaging engineering, including color-printed magnetic gift boxes, custom header cards, shrink-wrapping, and pre-printed UPC/EAN Amazon FBA inventory barcodes.
What warranty and quality assurance do you offer on wholesale shipments?
Every shipment undergoes strict AQL level II inspection and ISTA-1A drop testing. We offer a manufacturer warranty covering delamination, structural core defects, and edge-guard separation under normal play conditions.
Are exclusive territory distribution rights available for local sports agencies?

Frequently Asked Questions
Global Logistics, Warranty & Quality Assurance
How does KASACA test paddles against shipping and impact damage prior to export?
All bulk master cartons undergo ISTA-1A certified drop testing, edge-impact crush testing, and high-temperature container humidity cycle tests to guarantee intact arrival via sea and air cargo.
How are defective or freight-damaged units handled in international bulk orders?
For verified factory manufacturing defects reported within 30 days of shipment receipt, we issue an immediate commercial invoice credit or provide direct product replacement in your subsequent production container.
