Decision Made by USAPA on new APIKE Paddle

I hope that all of you will take the time and read the article on the USAPA website regarding the new APIKE Paddle. Please note that USAPA does not feel that the paddle is compliant with official USAPA Rule 2.E , regarding the ability to put additional spin on the ball.

What this means is :

It is not a USAPA approved paddle
It can not be used in any USAPA Sanctioned Tournament

USAPA has also posted all comments received from individual players across the country. I hope you'll take the time to read both the article and the link to individual comments.
