JOOLA Signature Athletes Are Dominating the 2026 PPA Tour
The numbers don't lie. JOOLA is the most dominant paddle brand on the PPA Tour in 2026, and it's not particularly close.
According to a recent analysis by The Kitchen, nearly 1 in 3 medals handed out across 10 PPA Tour events this year were won by a player using a JOOLA paddle. Out of 240 total medals awarded, JOOLA athletes claimed a staggering 32.5% of the podium — more than any other brand in the game.
But what makes that number even more impressive? Some of the players reaching for JOOLA paddles weren't even under contract to use them.
Unsponsored players — including JW Johnson, Jorja Johnson, Catherine Parenteau, Rachel Rohrabacher, and Alix Truong — all chose JOOLA paddles at some point this spring while earning medals on tour. When players with no financial incentive still choose your paddle on the biggest stages, that says everything.
Here's a look at what JOOLA's top athletes have been playing with recently:
Men's Tour
- Ben Johns — JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16mm
- Federico Staksrud — JOOLA Kosmos Pro V 16mm
Women's Tour
- Anna Bright — JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V 14mm
- Catherine Parenteau — JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V 14mm
- Lacy Schneemann — JOOLA Perseus Pro IV 16mm
From Ben Johns at the top of the men's game to a deep roster of elite women's players, JOOLA athletes are showing up and showing out week after week in 2026.
