For sale is a POWERPADDLE by Brian Lee, in overall excellent condition. Refer to the pictures for further details. Paddle tennis was conceived around the turn of the twentieth century in Michigan, but it thrives on Venice Beach, CA, next to Muscle beach, a wind sprint from Gold’s Gym and several blocks from the workshop of Brian Lee, five-time paddle tennis national champion and Powerpaddle manufacturer.Lee’s been producing his signature Powerpaddles (the last wooden paddles on the market) for three decades. The process has remained the same while the sport’s evolved. Most of the machinery installed in 1977 is utilized to this day. Essentially, it’s a one-man operation. Lee ensures quality by being involved from the first cut to the final signature. Roy Hobbs has nothing on him.At one point, the top five ranked players in the world gripped Powerpaddles. Now, modern lines designed to increase velocity are muscling for shelf space. Paddle tennis is renowned for its emphasis on finesse though; underhand serves and rapid net play places a premium on quick hands rather than rippling arms. As a result, many remain faithful to Brian Lee model paddles, while new generations continue to discover and experiment with them. Old-school’s hardly a new concept, after all. In Venice, retro isn’t simply a marketing ploy, it’s a lifestyle.
