David Johnson Signature Series - Original - Pickleball Paddle

The paddle that started a signature line. The David Johnson Signature Series Original is where Costa Pickleball's partnership with one of pickleball's most respected Senior Pros began—built around the idea that performance should serve the player, not the other way around. Now available at a closeout price, this paddle offers exceptional value for the construction and craftsmanship it delivers.

At 8.0 to 8.3 ounces, this midweight paddle provides the stability and power that David Johnson relied on throughout his competitive career. The polypropylene honeycomb core absorbs impact efficiently, producing a solid feel with dependable energy return. The Teflon-coated fiberglass surface creates a natural flex on contact, generating additional power on drives and serves while the Teflon coating adds durability and a consistent playing surface that holds up over time.

The dark carbon colorway carries the same understated confidence as the Lightweight Edition: clean, purposeful, and designed to perform rather than impress. This is a paddle for the player who values substance.

Developed with Senior Pro David Johnson. USAP approved for all levels of sanctioned play.
