HUDEF, established in 2017, is the first manufacturer to research and develop advanced pickleball paddles focusing on the spin technology of the paddle’s surface.
In 2018, the HUDEF R&D team, comprised of scientists from various disciplines, successfully developed a special HUDEF multi-layer vinyl surface based on the spining object principle of a ping-pong ball off a paddle. This technology considers tension, elasticity and the sound principle of hitting a pickleball to develop paddles that are lighter, provide more control and make contact with the ball with more power.
In 2021, after continuous development and research, the HUDEF R&D team successfully developed a new carbon fiber material and a new surface treatment process that can improve the ball’s spin effect. After three months of market research, HUDEF’s new paddles, beginning with the HD4, have helped players fully develop their spins and have even helped many of them win national pickleball tournaments.
The first paddle to incorporate the new spin technology is the HD4. HUDEF understands that the key factors determining the ball’s spin are the player's spin technique and the texture characteristics of the paddle’s surface. Our team employed scientific principles from physics, kinesiology and object dynamics to design a surface area that would optimize spin.
While the HD4 is based on USA Pickleball standards, its creation is derived from the scientific understandings of what makes a great ping-pong paddle, racquetball racket and beach tennis racket surface. The pickleball paddle surface texture on the HD4 and newer HUDEF paddles optimizes the science to provide players with maximum ball spin on every shot. (The paddles are specifically designed to generate maximum spin，its surface is pushed to the limits and delivers the maximum grit USA Pickleball rules allow.)
