Freedom Lies in Being Bold.
🪶 Overview
The Freedom Fighter Paddle — U.S. Edition is a symbol of courage, unity, and purpose — built to honor America’s enduring belief that freedom must always be active, never assumed.
Born from the alliance between Anywhere Pickleball and the Ukrainian Pickleball Federation (UPF), this paddle is part of a historic movement to unite players across borders through sport.
Each Freedom Fighter set delivers two paddles — one to you, one to Ukraine — connecting athletes in two nations who share a single purpose: to serve freedom through play.
💬 Design Story
The U.S. Edition draws its inspiration from the words of Robert Frost:
“Freedom lies in being bold.”
Printed in Veteran Typewriter — a heritage font that recalls the letters and field notes of those who served — this design celebrates the American spirit of bravery and action.
The paddle’s colorway, Old Glory Red and Blue, mirrors the U.S. flag itself:
- Red edge guard — symbol of courage and sacrifice.
- Blue ergonomic grip — symbol of loyalty and resolve.
- Matte black carbon body — discipline, focus, and purpose.
At the crown of the paddle, a bald eagle in flight rises above the quote, representing strength, vigilance, and the courage to move forward — no matter the odds.
This is the paddle of those who play for something greater than victory — they play for freedom itself.
