[FR] Can I customize a paddle for tournament use?
[FR]
Yes, but customization does not automatically make a paddle tournament-approved. According to the USA Pickleball Equipment Standards Manual, equipment used in sanctioned tournaments must meet the applicable specifications and appear on the approved paddle list. Confirm approval for the exact model and version.
