No. 1 Pickleball Racket Brand Niupipo Launches Newest Range of Pickleball Racket Sets
NEW YORK - December 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Niupipo has been in the pickleball business since 2012 and has become the No.1 pickleball brand on Amazon.com with over 300,000 rackets being sold worldwide every year.
"For the novice, for the pro, for everyone": Niupipo's brand slogan perfectly summarizes exactly what the brand stands for. Over the years, more and more people have become obsessed with pickleball; even a crossover of players from other sports are now into the sport. One of the reasons is that pickleball is a less strenuous and injury-prone game that has the same fundamentals and enjoyment for everyone. And Niupipo keeps adapting advanced technology and excellent materials to produce easier-to-control paddles for every player.
Having cooperated with a large number of professional pickleball athletes like Frank Anthony Davis, Niupipo not only provides athletes with more suitable game rackets to help them get better results but also deeply understands and studies athletes' swinging habits.
Niupipo's bestselling paddle sets are the Niupipo Fiberglass Paddle Set and Niupipo Explorer Pro Graphite Paddle. The similar features are:
· Premium Grip and Perfect Handle Size - Perforated, sweat-absorbent, and cushioned paddles to allow for a better grip and more comfortable hold.
· Less Weight and Stress - Noticeably lighter than most standard rackets, allowing for long-time play and producing less strain and injuries.
Here's a further breakdown of each paddle.
Niupipo Fiberglass Paddle Set:
· USAPA Approved Rackets - Niupipo's fiberglass rackets and equipment have passed USA Pickleball Association testing approved for sanctioned tournament play.
· More Power and Less Noise - The racket face is made with fiberglass, making it slightly more powerful than a graphite face, and the polypropylene-honeycomb composition offers ideal strength and stiffness.
· 2 Sets to Choose From - 2 Paddles Set includes: 2 rackets, 4 balls, and 1 pickleball bag, awesome for pros and beginners. 4 Paddles Set includes: 4 rackets, 4 balls, 4 replacement grips, and 1 pickleball bag, ideal for a game of doubles.
· Black/Grey Color Set to Choose From
Niupipo Explorer Pro Graphite Paddle:
· USA Approved Pickleball Paddles - The pickleball paddle is made to meet USA standards in core material, surface, size, weight, bounce, hardness, and design. An excellent choice for World Pickleball Championship, APP Tour, PPA Tour, etc.
· Added Grit for Extra Pop and Spin - The racket features a graphite and grit face, keeping the ball on the racket a split second longer for greater control and increasing spin and ball "rolls".
· Offers More Control and Power - Made with a polypropylene honeycomb core, the paddle offers greater durability, control and increased power and can withstand a heavy beating.
Niupipo pickleball racket sets are ready for purchase on https://niupipo.com and Amazon.com.
Niupipo Fiberglass Paddle set ranges from $59.99-$119.99; visit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C73KK4R for more information.

Skateboards, Longboards, Electric Boards – What’s the Difference? Experts Explain
MELBOURNE, Australia - December 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Longboards, skateboard decks and electric skateboards are bound to be appearing on Christmas lists all over the country in the leadup to the holidays. But to loving parents and well-meaning grandparents, all three may seem like the same thing. Twelve Board Store, Melbourne's leading provider of skateboard decks, accessories and more, explains what differentiates each of the three types of boards and what each board is best suited to.
Skateboards are the classic board that comes to mind when skateboarding is mentioned. They are typically 28-34 inches in length and 7-10 inches wide. At each end, the board curves up slightly and has small wheels, making it easier to do tricks and control the board's speed while riding. The traditional skateboard rose to popularity in the 1950s and is mostly used for skaters who want to learn tricks or often need to carry their board around with them.
Longboards, on the other hand, are slightly bigger than traditional skateboards. They typically range in size from 35-60 inches long and 9-10 inches wide. This makes them much easier to balance on, meaning they're the perfect board for beginners and amateur skaters. Longboards feature two narrow strips at each end, making them easier to cruise on and they have larger, softer wheels, allowing them to absorb strong shocks and gain greater speed. They're suitable for a range of terrains, whereas skateboards fare better on smooth ground to keep the rider stable.
Electric skateboards feature a removable battery in their deck - some even boast LED headlights and taillights. They can be made from either wood or plastic and are known for being sleek and aerodynamic. These boards eliminate the need for any manual effort on the rider's part and are known to reach greater speeds as a result. They're not typically recommended for beginner skaters as they can be tricky to manoeuvre or stop but provide a fun, exciting alternative to a traditional board or longboard for seasoned skaters.
For more information about skateboards or to find the perfect board, contact Twelve Board Store or visit the Richmond store today.
