JOOLA is stepping onto the big screen with the launch of the pre-order of the "Da Hammer" Pickleball Paddle, a limited-edition collaboration with The Dink, the new comedy movie premiering on Apple TV this Friday, July 24th. The partnership brings together pickleball and Hollywood, celebrating a film built around the same spirit of reinvention and second chances that defines the sport itself. Produced by Ben Stiller, The Dink stars Jake Johnson as a washed-up tennis pro who turns to pickleball to save his father's country club — and earn back his respect in the process.

Meet the "Da Hammer" Pickleball Paddle

They call him "Da Hammer" for a reason. In The Dink, Jake Johnson stars as Dusty "Da Hammer" Boyd, a washed-up tennis pro forced to pick up pickleball to save his club and win back his father's respect. Inspired by the film, the JOOLA "Da Hammer" Pickleball Paddle is an exclusive, limited-edition paddle built for anyone ready to swing for their own comeback.

The paddle features JOOLA's elongated Perseus shape — the same shape as Dusty's paddle in the movie — constructed with JOOLA's durable Astral technology. That includes a carbon fiber sand-blasted surface for predictable contact and a Feel-Tec Pure Grip for long-lasting comfort.

Pre-order the limited-edition "Da Hammer" paddle now — and catch The Dink when it drops on Apple TV this Friday, July 24th.
