Questions

Is there a Miami or Tampa paddle? The Florida paddle is the one for Miami and Tampa. ARTI makes no city paddles.

Is it tournament legal? Yes, in USA Pickleball sanctioned tournaments. It is on the approved paddle list as FLORIDA.

How does it play? Its 16mm core gives more control and a softer touch for dinks and resets than a 14mm core.

Florida paddle or Mastery Elite: which should I choose? Choose the Florida paddle, or any 16mm State Collection paddle, for more control, a larger sweet spot and original art. Choose the 14mm Mastery Elite 1.0 for the most pop and speed in the ARTI lineup.

Is it a good gift for a pickleball player from Florida? Yes. It puts original baby blue Florida art on a carbon fiber paddle designed by ARTI Pickleball in Dallas, Texas, and it is on the USA Pickleball approved list as FLORIDA, so it is legal for sanctioned play.
