FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ starts from 50 units for custom pickleball paddle orders.

Have you worked with established or large brands?

Yes. We have supported OEM development for a range of established brands.
Due to confidentiality agreements, most of these collaborations cannot be publicly disclosed or displayed. We treat client confidentiality as a core part of our partnership.

Can you provide similar paddle structures used by other brands?

We do not replicate or reuse proprietary designs from other brands.
All customer intellectual property is strictly protected.
However, we offer a wide range of proven open mold options and can develop custom configurations based on your target performance, materials, and market positioning.

What materials do you manufacture?

We manufacture pickleball paddles using various materials and core structures, with in-house R&D enabling custom material development and new product differentiation.

What is your production lead time?

Production lead time is typically 1–2 weeks for standard pickleball paddle orders, depending on customization.

Do you support USAP and UPA-A paddle approval projects?

Yes. WERiDON supports USAP and UPA-A paddle approval projects with sample preparation, internal pre-testing, and process coordination. Final approval depends on the official review process and current requirements.

Can I start with an all-black sample?

Yes. An all-black sample can be used to test feel, core structure, thickness, surface finish, weight range, and shape before final artwork confirmation.

How is pricing determined for custom orders?

Pricing depends on materials (e.g., carbon fiber or fiberglass), construction, customization complexity, and order quantity for OEM pickleball paddle production.

How do you ensure consistent product quality?

We control material inspection, construction consistency, in-process checks, and project-specific testing to help maintain stable quality from samples to bulk production.
