Obsession
Ethos emerged from my deep-rooted passion for pickleball, evolving from a player's obsession into a pioneering paddle company. My journey began in 2017 when I first picked up a pickleball paddle and almost immediately became an ardent advocate for the sport.
By 2019, I began sharing my enthusiasm by coaching others, initially for free, driven by a desire to support and grow my local pickleball community. In 2020, a friend and medalist on Pro Senior circuit extended an exciting opportunity to become a club pickleball director. I jumped at the chance to pursue pickleball full time and to coach players at all skill levels.
Club director and paddle brand representative
As a club pickleball director, I became a representative for several major paddle brands. This exposure was invaluable, allowing me to learn about the latest designs and technologies in the industry. It also gave me the satisfaction of helping fellow players find paddles that perfectly suited their needs. Through my focus and hands-on experience, I eventually became a 5.0 medalist in multiple tournaments, providing me with unique insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various paddles on the market.
Ethos is born
With a background in manufacturing and an innate tendency to tinker, I began to experiment with designing my own paddles. Drawing from my extensive knowledge of leading brands, I started crafting designs that incorporated my own innovations. By 2022, I was ready to bring my creations to the world. Ethos was born out of a relentless drive to challenge conventional paradigms and improve upon existing technologies.
Our mission with Ethos is to create high-performance paddles that leverage a unique array of materials and their characteristics. After countless prototypes and rigorous testing, we launched our first paddle, Telos, an exceptional all-around paddle that quickly gained a following. Building on this success, we introduced the aerodynamic Arete and the perfectly balanced Scoria. Now, we are excited to unveil the Dunamis Pro, our top-of-the-line paddle that represents the pinnacle of our innovative efforts.
Thank you and welcome
