We are thrilled to finally reveal it:
The official ball of the RTA European Finals 2025 – Arlberg Pickleball Championship and the entire RTA2026 Tour — including Pro tournaments, Amateur events, and Pickleball Clinics — will be the brand-new JOOLA HC-40.
Fresh from production, still hot off the line and not yet released to the public, the JOOLA HC-40 is a game-changer. It takes on the world’s most recognized pickleballs head-on — and it’s here to stay.
The RTA Pickleball Tour has always stood for quality, innovation, and experience. Every detail matters — from tournament formats and live broadcasts to rankings and player services. The ball is one of those crucial details that define the game’s feel and flow. And with the HC-40, JOOLA delivers absolute precision, top-tier durability, and a perfectly consistent bounce that meets the standards of competitive play at every level.
We’ve tested it. We’ve felt it.
And we can say it confidently: this ball brings joy to the game.
Whether it’s a high-intensity pro match at the RTA2000, a thrilling amateur final at an RTA500, or a skill-building session at one of our clinics — the HC-40 ensures the same level of quality and reliability across the board. It performs beautifully indoors and outdoors, with a smooth, predictable flight path and just the right amount of control.
For us, this is more than just the introduction of a new ball. It’s a symbol of how far European pickleball has come — and how much further we’re going together.
With JOOLA as our Premium Sponsor and long-standing partner, the HC-40 marks another step in shaping the future of pickleball in Europe — one match, one rally, one joyful moment at a time.
We can’t wait for every player on the Road to Arlberg to hold it, hit it, and love it.
