Stop Aiming for 10—It’s Time to Play Your Best Pickleball Ever.
The new year is here, and with it comes the usual talk of "leveling up." Most players are looking to refine their dink, sharpen their serve, or maybe just get a little more consistent. They’re aiming for a "10"—that solid, peak version of their current game.
But at Quiet Play Paddles, we think "10" is just the starting line.
If you want to play the best pickleball of your life in 2026, you need to find that extra gear. You need to go "one louder" than the rest of the court. This year, we’re challenging you to Turn It Up to 11.
The Magic Number: Why 11 Matters
In the world of pickleball, 11 isn't just a number—it’s the destination. It’s the winning score. You can play a perfect game and reach 10 points, but until you hit that 11th point, the job isn’t done.
To get there, you need a paddle that doesn't just keep up, but pushes you beyond your previous best. That’s where the Whoop Ass comes in.
American-Made Power vs. The Status Quo
While most "standard" paddles on the market are mass-produced in factories overseas, the Whoop Ass is proudly Made in America. We believe that the highest level of play deserves the highest level of craftsmanship.
We aren't just assembling parts; we are engineering a masterpiece of aerospace technology. When you hold a Whoop Ass, you’re holding American innovation designed specifically to outperform the "standard 10" paddles coming out of China.
The Science of the "11": T1100 Carbon Fiber
What makes the Whoop Ass go to 11? It’s what’s inside.
Most premium paddles today use T700 carbon fiber. It’s a good material—a "10" by most standards. But we wanted more. We’ve tucked a layer of T1100 Carbon Fiber—a material that is higher, stronger, and significantly more resilient—neatly under the surface.
And that surface? It’s a stunning black and gold Carbon/Kevlar weave. This isn't just for looks; this is the same high-performance material typically reserved for US Fighter Jets. It’s built to handle extreme stress while providing a feel and "pop" that T700 simply cannot match.
The "Spinal Tap" Irony: Quiet Tech, Loud Results
Culturally, "Turning it up to 11" became a legend thanks to the movie This Is Spinal Tap. The guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, famously showed off an amp where the dial went to 11 because it was "one louder" than 10.
We know the irony isn’t lost on you. We are Quiet Play Paddles. Our mission is to make the game quieter and more neighbor-friendly. But while our technology keeps the decibels down, the Whoop Ass ensures your performance is the loudest thing on the court.
"Turning it up to 11" is our verbal symbolism for exceeding expectations. It’s about being better than your previous best. It’s about having the "Whoop Ass" in your hand when the game is on the line.
The Whoop Ass is Made in the USA for players who demand more than "standard." If you’re ready to stop aiming for 10 and start playing at an 11, you’re ready for Quiet Play.
Don’t settle for a 10 this year. Step onto the court with American-made aerospace technology. Experience the T1100 difference. Win the game.
