Pickleball is becoming a global phenomenon, especially in the US and Europe, with an explosive growth in the number of players. Capturing this trend, OSUNO not only manufactures pickleball paddles and balls under its own brand but also provides OEM services for domestic and international brands. With advantages in production technology, raw material sources, and a strict quality control process, OSUNO is confident in delivering tournament-standard products, meeting the demands of both domestic and international markets.
The strong development trend of Pickleball in the world
Pickleball was born in the 1960s in the US but has only really exploded in recent years. According to data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), in the US alone, the number of pickleball players exceeded 36 million in 2023, an increase of nearly 200% compared to three years earlier.
Not only limited to the US, pickleball has also spread rapidly to Canada, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Professional tournaments, court systems, and pickleball clubs are springing up everywhere. This trend has led to a huge demand for competition equipment, especially tournament-standard paddles and balls.
This opens up great opportunities for Vietnamese manufacturers like OSUNO to participate in the global supply chain. With advantages in cost, highly skilled labor, and the ability to meet international standards, “Made in Vietnam” pickleball products can completely compete in the international market.
OSUNO – Manufacturer of standard pickleball paddles & balls
OSUNO is an OEM manufacturer for domestic and foreign brands while also building its own pickleball brand with the goal of affirming its production capacity in Vietnam. OSUNO’s paddle and ball lines are carefully researched, from design and material selection to practical testing, to meet the needs of both training and professional competition.
- OSUNO pickleball paddle: Uses a high-density polymer core, with a carbon fiber or fiberglass surface, optimizing durability and ball control. The paddle is lightweight (average 220-250 grams), suitable for a wide range of players.
- OSUNO pickleball ball: Made from durable PE plastic, with a uniformly distributed hole design to help the ball fly stably. There are both indoor and outdoor ball lines with different hardness and weight.
Each product undergoes a strict inspection process before leaving the factory: weight, bounce, impact resistance, and testing in actual competition conditions.

What’s so special about OSUNO pickleball balls?
Unlike regular balls, pickleball balls need to have stable flight characteristics and high durability. OSUNO produces 2 ball lines:
- Indoor: Lighter, with fewer holes (26 holes), for a softer flight path, suitable for indoor play.
- Outdoor: Harder, with more small holes (40 holes), good wind resistance, less prone to wear and tear when playing outdoors.
Each ball is tested for bounce, roundness, and durability to ensure that when it is released to the market, it meets USAPA standards, ready for international tournaments.
