Pop Stoppers LLC is a father-son run company out of Middleton, WI. While playing pickleball at our local courts, we noticed that the sound of the pickleball hitting the paddles was very loud and annoying..  Searching online, we found that many courts were causing neighborhood disturbances and causing courts to close. Our mission is to help prevent the closure of courts through the use of the sound-reducing paddle covers we developed through much trial and error. We focused on reducing both overall decibel level and the reduction of high pitch frequencies. We are hoping that our product increases the popularity of pickleball and decreases the friction between players and communities.
