Dear Pickleball Community,
As you may have heard in other media, the renowned badass pickleball player Tyson McGuffin is leaving Selkirk for Joola on January 1, 2024, and has collaborated with Joola to develop the brand-new paddle called " Magnus ." This decision marks the end of Tyson's long-standing partnership with Selkirk and the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
The Magnus Paddle, also known as the "Magnus Alpha 2024" in its Lab version, is the result of a creative collaboration between Joola and Tyson McGuffin. Interestingly, it bears the name of our founder and CEO, Magnus Stedile-Foradori – we, along with Joola and Tyson McGuffin, are delighted with this decision :)
Tyson McGuffin played the Power Air Invikta paddle during his time with Selkirk , an impressively stiff power paddle, especially in his own " Gold - Tyson McGuffin " version. The new Magnus paddle from Joola isn't on the market yet, but we're working closely with Joola Europe to ensure it will be available here soon. In the meantime, we're showing you the Tyson McGuffin paddles from Selkirk and the Ben Johns Perseus paddles from Joola , as Tyson McGuffin's Magnus paddle might be similar to Ben Johns' Perseus paddle – we'll see.
The Magnus paddle, custom-made for Tyson McGuffin, boasts a thickness of 14mm and remains true to the power category. It promises an exciting blend of control and striking power. We're eager to see the innovations that Joola and Tyson McGuffin will present together, and of course, we'll keep you updated.
Get ready for an exciting time of change and innovation in Pickleball!
Warmest regards,
The Pro Pickleball team
