Making Artist-Designed Paddles

Play Henry combines artistic vision with high-performance engineering to craft its artist-designed paddles. This approach blends creative expression with cutting-edge production techniques.

When choosing artists, Play Henry looks for those who can:

  • Design visuals that complement the paddle's 16mm carbon fiber structure

Player feedback consistently supports these choices. Once an artist is selected, their designs are seamlessly incorporated into production.

Each paddle undergoes strict USAPA testing, ensuring it delivers on both performance and artistic appeal.
