Benefits of technology

The patent describes a tool that can be easily changed out for different surfaces and preferences. The shape of the tool is designed to make efficient use of materials, reducing costs and increasing supply. The user can also easily change the grip on the tool, as it is built to fit a variety of surfaces and weights. This allows for frequent and easy customization of the tool.

Problems solved by technology

Sport paddle, such as Pickle Ball paddles are typically made as a unit, with no selectability in the assembly process for custom features and materials.
