After weeks of rumor and speculation, we can finally put the Anna Leigh Waters paddle rumors to bed.
Anna Leigh Waters and Franklin Pickleball today announced a "longterm agreement."
"I am incredibly proud to begin this next chapter of my career with Franklin Sports,” said Waters.
“When looking for the right partner for the future of my game, performance was a priority, and I’ve been so impressed by Franklin’s commitment to paddle innovation."Waters will play with "new iterations" of Franklin's C45 paddle line.
She will also be working closely with Franklin Sports to codesign a signature line of products including pickleball paddles, pickleball bags, and pickleball
accessories.
It's notable here that this deal does not appear to include apparel or shoes, or at least doesn't mention them directly.
"Beyond the technology, I had an immediate connection with the team and felt like part of the family," Waters added. "I have a lot of trust in this partnership and am especially excited to work together on our shared vision for international growth."
Waters and Franklin Sports will also bring to market a brand-new, world-class pro pickleball to complement Franklin’s existing X-40 ball line, the current number one ball in the sport.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the undisputed number one pickleball player in the world to the Franklin Sports family,” said Adam Franklin, President of Franklin Sports.
“Anna Leigh’s remarkable talent, competitive spirit, and passion for the game align perfectly with our mission to support athletes at every level while continuing to grow the sport globally.”Image credit: Franklin Sports
