Holiday Shopping

RADL Wire | Holiday Shopping Guide

As Black Friday and Cyber Monday stretch into a full Cyber Week, the biggest shopping window of the year is officially underway—and RADL Wire is kicking things off with our inaugural Holiday Shopping Guide, featuring standout deals and curated gifts across the racquet-sports world. But before you dive into the season’s best savings, catch up on the latest industry moves: Power Financial Credit Union has stepped into the spotlight as the Official Credit Union of the GEICO APP Tour Championships, reinforcing its growing commitment to the pickleball community. On the West Coast, tensions continue in Carmel-by-the-Sea, where the city is advancing a permanent ban on pickleball after persistent noise disputes. And in the global padel arena, Heineken® 0.0 is expanding its footprint through a new partnership with Playtomic—launching this December with “Open Matches by Heineken® 0.0” in Barcelona, designed to fuel community engagement in the world’s fastest-rising racket sport.

INDUSTRY NEWS

• Power Financial Credit Union has announced a premier partnership with the Association of Pickleball Players, becoming the Official Credit Union of the GEICO APP Tour Championships and further cementing its commitment to the fast-growing pickleball community. The collaboration will take center stage at The Fort in Fort Lauderdale during the APP Tour season finale December 10–14, 2025, with PFCU also serving as presenting sponsor of the APP CEO Challenge—a pro-am charity event benefiting the Jason Taylor Foundation.  The APP, coming off a historic year and operating the only USA Pickleball-sanctioned pro and amateur tour, will welcome the world’s top players to its state-of-the-art headquarters for a memorable championship week.

• Nitto Denko Corporation has extended its title partnership with the ATP through 2030, ensuring the Nitto ATP Finals, featuring the world’s top eight singles players and doubles teams, will remain in Italy through the end of the decade. Since 2017, Nitto’s support has helped shape the season-ending championship into a world-class, sustainability-driven event, aligning with the company’s Global Niche Top™ growth strategy and its commitment to innovation

• The World Legends Padel Tour has named Miami-based Streann Media its official digital partner for the 2025 Miami Finals, set for November 29–30 at Ultra Padel Club and featuring an elite roster of former global football stars including Francesco Totti, Christian Vieri, Andriy Shevchenko, and Luca Toni. As the tour’s international footprint expands with stops in cities like London, Paris, Rome, and New York, the Miami finale will also debut the new WLPT channel on StreannStudio.ai, which will power all live broadcasts, replays, highlights, and behind-the-scenes content.  

• Troubling Sounds have been heard out of Carmel-by-the-Sea as the picturesque California town is moving toward a permanent pickleball ban at its only public courts. After years of resident noise complaints over the sport’s distinctive “popping” sound, the city council, which previously enacted a temporary ban in October, voted unanimously to draft a full prohibition following repeated efforts to mitigate noise. The city attorney is now preparing the final ordinance for a future council vote, marking another flashpoint in the national debate over pickleball’s impact on neighborhood soundscapes.

• Heineken® 0.0 is deepening its presence in the global padel boom through a new partnership with Playtomic, the world’s largest racket-sports community, launching this December with an interactive public event in Barcelona. The collaboration introduces Open Matches by Heineken® 0.0, a fresh twist on Playtomic’s popular social-match feature, designed to connect players who’ve never met and enhance both on-court and post-game experiences—including surprise elements and complimentary Heineken® or Heineken® 0.0.
