Every great sports brand begins with more than a business idea — it begins with belief.
At POM, our journey started not in a boardroom, but on a court. Our founder has always been deeply passionate about sports. Years of playing, competing, and studying athletic performance built a conviction that quality equipment can transform not just how athletes perform — but how they feel, improve, and stay healthy.
When pickleball began rising globally, our founder recognized something special. This sport was not just growing — it was connecting people across ages, cultures, and skill levels. Yet, despite its explosive popularity, there was still a gap in high-quality, performance-focused manufacturing.
That moment defined our direction.
POM was created to become a professional, innovation-driven pickleball equipment manufacturer dedicated to helping brands and athletes perform at their best.
1. The Moment That Sparked POM’s Mission
Our founder’s introduction to pickleball was like many others — curious, casual, and unexpected. But one experience stood out.
After playing several matches, it became clear that small differences in paddle design dramatically changed performance. Some paddles felt unstable. Some lacked control. Some transmitted too much vibration, causing arm fatigue.
This raised a powerful question:
“If equipment can limit performance, can better engineering unlock potential?”
That question became the foundation of POM.
2. Why Pickleball Became Our Focus
POM could have entered many sports markets. Instead, we made a deliberate choice: focus deeply and exclusively on pickleball equipment.
2.1 A Sport for Everyone
Pickleball brings together:
Young competitors
Retired athletes
Families
Newcomers to sports
Few sports have such broad inclusivity.
2.2 A Sport That Depends on Equipment Precision
Unlike some sports where gear is secondary, pickleball performance is closely tied to:
Paddle materials
Core construction
Surface texture
Ball consistency
This made it an ideal field for a company driven by engineering excellence.
2.3 A Growing Global Movement
Pickleball is expanding worldwide — in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. POM saw an opportunity not just to sell equipment, but to support a global sports movement.
3. POM’s Mission: Advancing the Science of Pickleball Equipment
At its core, POM exists for one purpose:
To advance pickleball equipment through innovation, precision manufacturing, and athlete-focused design.
Our mission includes:
Engineering paddles that balance control and power
Manufacturing balls with consistent flight and durability
Supporting brands with high-quality customization
Reducing injury risks through ergonomic design
Helping players of all levels improve performance
We believe equipment should elevate the athlete, not limit them.
4. From Passion to Professional Manufacturing
Turning a passion into a professional manufacturing company required:
4.1 Technical Investment
We invested early in:
Advanced composite material research
Honeycomb core engineering
Surface texture testing for spin optimization
Durability simulations under repeated impact
4.2 Global Collaboration
POM collaborates with:
Professional athletes
Coaches
Brand partners
Distributors across multiple regions
Their feedback shapes every product generation.
4.3 Performance Testing
Before a product reaches the market, it undergoes:
Structural integrity testing
Vibration dampening analysis
Balance and weight distribution evaluation
Real-match field testing
We treat paddle design like sports engineering, not just product production.
5. The Science Behind POM Paddle Development
Pickleball paddles look simple — but they are complex performance tools.
5.1 Core Technology
We refine:
Polymer honeycomb density
Shock absorption characteristics
Sweet spot expansion design
5.2 Surface Materials
We explore:
Carbon fiber for spin and responsiveness
Fiberglass blends for controlled power
Hybrid materials for balanced performance
5.3 Weight Distribution
Through balance calibration, we help players:
Improve reaction speed
Reduce fatigue
Maintain control under pressure
Our goal is not to create one “perfect” paddle, but to engineer paddles suited to different play styles.
6. Match Ball Manufacturing: Precision Matters
A pickleball must meet strict performance expectations:
Stable flight trajectory
Consistent bounce
Impact durability
Weather adaptability
POM match balls are designed to maintain shape and performance across different court conditions. Small production inconsistencies can affect gameplay — so we emphasize tight manufacturing tolerances and quality inspection.
7. Supporting Brands Through Customization
POM is proud to be a trusted manufacturing partner for many pickleball brands worldwide.
We provide:
Custom paddle surface graphics
Private label production
Performance-spec customization
Packaging solutions
Our role is not just supplier — we are a technical partner helping brands grow.
8. Built With Athletes, Not Just For Them
Professional and competitive players help shape POM products. Their feedback addresses:
Handle comfort
Grip moisture control
Balance under rapid exchanges
Fatigue over multi-match tournaments
This collaboration ensures our gear works in real match conditions, not just laboratory settings.
9. The Human Side of POM
Behind every paddle and ball are people who love sport.
Our team includes:
Engineers who play pickleball weekly
Designers who study match footage
Staff who test equipment in local clubs
We believe authentic passion drives better products.
10. Why Specialization Matters
Many companies produce equipment for dozens of sports. POM chose a different path.
By specializing in pickleball, we can:
Focus R&D resources
Respond quickly to market needs
Refine designs continuously
Stay aligned with sport evolution
Specialization leads to deeper expertise and better products.
11. Safety and Injury Prevention as Design Priorities
Pickleball is low impact compared to many sports, but poor equipment can increase strain.
POM emphasizes:
Vibration reduction
Ergonomic grip design
Balanced weight distribution
This supports long-term player health, not just short-term performance.
12. Sustainability and Responsibility
As a global manufacturer, POM is committed to:
Reducing material waste
Improving production efficiency
Selecting durable materials to extend product life
Sustainable manufacturing ensures the sport grows responsibly.
13. Growing With the Sport
Pickleball evolves quickly. Strategies change. Play speeds increase. Athlete expectations rise.
POM grows alongside the sport by:
Monitoring professional trends
Studying performance data
Adapting designs accordingly
We see innovation as a continuous journey.
14. The Future of Pickleball Equipment
Emerging areas POM continues to explore:
Advanced vibration-control materials
Smart performance analytics integration
Surface textures for enhanced spin control
Improved durability standards
Our vision is to stay at the forefront of pickleball technology.
15. What POM Stands For
POM represents more than a manufacturer.
We stand for:
Passion for sport
Precision in engineering
Partnership with brands
Performance for athletes
Progress for pickleball worldwide
16. Why Our Founder’s Passion Still Drives Us
