Niupipo Explorer Pickleball Paddle Review
Review Written by Charlie Moore
| Niupipo Explorer Pickleball Paddle |  |
The Niupipo Explorer pickleball paddle was released in the spring of 2021 and continues to be a very popular pickleball paddle, but the very first thing you need to know about Niupipo is that their name is simply pronounced “New People.” The second is that Niupipo pickleball paddles are one of the top selling and best all-around pickleball paddles on the market. In 2021, Niupipo is growing and will release their USAPA approved Pro Pioneer Series. The Niupipo Pioneer series will be a graphite based paddle and focus on tournament play.

Niupipo Pioneer Pickleball Paddle Development
Niupipo Sports is aggressively entering the professional pickleball market in 2021 by sponsoring the World Pickleball Championship in Punta Gorda Florida and professional players like Frank Anthony Davis. Sponsorship at the highest competitive level is to develop and test their new Explorer pickleball paddle and to let people know that their paddles are not just for family fun matches, but also for competing in local and national events.
Niupipo Explorer Pickleball Paddle
The Niupipo Explorer pickleball paddle will be the first USAPA approved paddle in the Pioneer pickleball paddle series. It will be designed specifically for tournament competition so we are expecting that the Niupipo Explorer will have features like a honeycomb polypropylene core, graphite surface, professional level grip and edge guard.
Niupipo Sponsored Players
Niupipo Sports entered 2021 with big goals for their company. They not only wanted a professional level paddle, but also wanted it tournament tested. Therefore, their sponsorship with professional pickleball player Frank Anthony Davis (FAD) was a natural step. With FAD’s professional design input and high level of competitive play, the Explorer pickleball paddle will start out with a tournament pedigree the first day it goes on sale.
Niupipo Sponsored Pickleball Tournaments
Ever heard the term “Go big or go home?” Well Niupipo Sports showed up big in 2021 by sponsoring the 2020 World Pickleball Championship in Punta Gorda, Florida. Sponsoring one of the largest pickleball tournaments in the United States, Niupipo signaled that in 2021, they are a competitor and are going to expand their paddle series into tournament level equipment.
