Building the Digital Infrastructure for Paddle Performance Data

Every paddle has a performance history — what it measured, when it was tested, and how it changes over its life. That history is the paddle's PaddleDNA™ profile.

The PaddleDNA™ infrastructure is how that profile is generated, shared, and used: certified testing machines that produce the measurements, a sealed data packet that carries them, an NFC tag bonded to the paddle, and the app that reads it back at the court.

Published paddle profiles, referee checks at the table, and the paddles in a player's own bag all draw on the same record. One standard, from the testing bench to the tournament desk.
