Quiet Paddles or why Rubbber Bullets don't make Guns Quiet.

As a third is backwards trend and misunderstanding physics we are categorizing paddles as being quiet. Because this game is often played indoors and in a vast variety of formats it's very difficult to set a definition for quiet paddle. This is especially so as players use vast variety of balls.

If one thing has been made apparent by our AI database it's that much of the variation in paddles can be explained by variation involves. So let's consider the ball's contribution to noise. Compare this to a rifle. You don't make a rifle quiet by making the bullet of a different material. You use a subsonic round in the rifle as the bullet breaking the speed of sound is primarily the source of the noise. Yes, this applies usually even with suppressors.

This is just the usap attempting to make another arbitrary category because arbitrary categories once they become a part of culture don't become so arbitrary anymore. It's a backwards but very business like way of introducing things make the demand first or make up the demand. 

Unless the usap has made your plans for a new ball in mind it's hard to even make sense of their not public standards for what makes a quiet paddle. But the answer is probably nothing except for paying them. So next time you want to ask yourself if you can make a paddle significantly more quiet consider our analogy and whether the usap can even accomplish this in a meaningful and scientific way. Loudness is not a metric of anything. Loudness from how far please?

The fact remains that for the year of 2025 the following trends are strongly predicted:

• Paddle weight/power ratio continues to increase
• Weight Distribution working towards extreme high and lows
• New materials
• Thinning cores

The fact remains the same that the best way to make a good paddle is to make one with a good weight to power ratio. This should not be possible as decreasing a paddles weight decreases its ability to store energy, the USAP cannot change that this basis and fundamental charecteristic will always be desirable. The paddles we have next to no difference between arbitrary categorical such as power paddle or elongated paddle. 

No one wants to make or try to bring a game changing paddle to market. That's a risky prospect. From a manufacturing perspective it's impossible, the USAP has even written a rule prohibiting it. The question no ones asking is if we are happy enough with our current paddles to pass them on to their kids, should they manage to pass the sport along.
