TMPR Ascend LX Lightweight Composite Pickleball Paddle

TMPR Sports (pronounced Temper) was founded in January of 2018 by Doug and Diana Clark. Soon afterward they were joined by their son, Taylor Clark, a graphic designer and composer who has worked with major brands like Ford and Microsoft. Doug had a varied career before forming TMPR Sports — writing and producing jingles for radio and TV advertising and filming and producing TV commercials and documentaries. 

That led to starting a new paddle brand. "I had a lot of ideas for new paddles and believed there was room in the market for a different kind of paddle company. While other companies focused on a variety of various polymer cores we began to analyze how the shape of a paddle can dramatically affect its performance.  After numerous prototype paddles were made and tested by several tennis pros we settled on our first shape which we named the Tantrum series." says Clark. 

TMPR Sports is a Michigan-based paddle company focused on developing new pickleball paddle designs with innovative shapes and improved paddle performance.
