Pickleball has rapidly gained global popularity, with official tournaments held across North America, Europe, and Asia. As the sport continues to grow, maintaining strict quality standards for pickleball balls is essential for ensuring fair play and consistent performance. International pickleball organizations, such as the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) and the International Federation of Pickleball (IFP), have established specific regulations for tournament-approved pickleball balls.
At Dore-Sports, we pride ourselves on manufacturing pickleball balls that meet and exceed international standards. As a factory integrating both manufacturing and trade, we not only offer high-quality tournament-grade balls but also provide a one-stop solution for customized pickleball accessories. Our advanced technology and stringent quality control ensure that every ball delivers the precision and durability required for professional gameplay.
Official Size and Weight Standards
According to USAPA and IFP regulations, an official pickleball ball must adhere to the following specifications:
Dore-Sports strictly follows these measurements in our production process, ensuring that our pickleball balls meet official size and weight standards. Each ball undergoes precision molding and automated quality checks to guarantee uniformity.
Bounce and Hardness Requirements
A key factor in competitive play is bounce consistency. Tournament-approved pickleball balls must be tested by dropping them from a height of 78 inches (198 cm) onto a concrete surface, where they should bounce between 30-34 inches (76-86 cm).
Additionally, the hardness of the ball is measured using a durometer, ensuring it meets a standard range that prevents excessive softness or brittleness. At Dore-Sports, our quality control team performs extensive testing to maintain these performance metrics, providing players with a reliable, tournament-ready ball.
Hole Pattern and Aerodynamics
Pickleball balls feature a specific number of holes to optimize flight stability.
The precise hole placement and sizing affect the ball’s speed, balance, and spin. At Dore-Sports, we use advanced automated drilling technology to ensure accurate hole positioning, providing consistent flight patterns that meet international tournament regulations.
Durability and Performance Testing
Tournament-level pickleball balls must withstand high-impact rallies without cracking or losing shape. To ensure durability, our production process includes:
Dore-Sports guarantees that our pickleball balls maintain their integrity even after extensive play, making them ideal for professional tournaments.
