Brief History

Paddle Palace is owned by Judy Hoarfrost. Judy was inducted into the US Table Tennis Hall of Fame as well as the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame. With numerous US Junior and Senior titles, Judy was a member of the US Team for ten years, and a member of the famous “Ping Pong Diplomacy” Team that made history in 1971. In the early 1970’s, her family opened a table tennis club in downtown Portland, Oregon. It was named “Paddle Palace” because of its palatial home in an historic Elks Club Building, in a ballroom with chandeliers and ornate carvings on the high ceiling. This successful full-time club was a magnet for players and teams from around the world and a center for training, leagues, and tournaments. Paddle Palace developed a computer rating system for the Pacific Northwest that became the model for the current USATT ratings system.

Paddle Palace evolved from club to full-time equipment business in the late 1970’s. Paddle Palace was early to become computerized, and jumped onto the internet even before the advent of shopping-cart technology. We continue to work to employ the best technology, shipping methods, communication methods, and business practices, all with the aim of offering our customers the best possible table tennis shopping experience.

More About Paddle Palace

In 2016, Paddle Palace opened Paddle Palace Club, a full-time professional club located right next door to the Paddle Palace equipment company.
