FAQs
Are these paddles USAPA Approved?
All Rich Cat Supply paddles are tested and meet USAPA requirements, however, the Savvy & Gusto have not been submitted to USAPA for formal approval yet. The Savvy will be USAPA approved by Sept 2023. The Gusto will not be USAPA-approved because we want the freedom to switch up the graphics and bring fresh designs to the courts without having to go through the costly and time-consuming process of submitting them for USAPA approval.
How do I take care of my paddle?
- Keep your paddle clean
- Avoid temperature extremes (cold or hot)
- Protect your paddle in a sleeve when not in use
- Be careful to not hit your edge guard on the ground while playing
- While we encourage high fives and paddle taps after a great shot, be gentle with your paddle to avoid damage
