Paddletek Tempest Veyra Widebody
Most likely Conflicting reports
The Kitchen's November 6, 2026 tracker, published from the World Championships, which he played, is the only dated report and says he has put the Tempest Veyra Widebody in the bag; it does not say how it identified paddles, and the same list includes a player who was not competing, so it is not a confirmed observation. He is now listed on Team Paddletek. PIKKL's player page is older than its competing listings by its own age line, and PPA's line is undated. The lead rests on this single report with no brand or player confirmation, so the PIKKL reports stay visible.
Paddletek's widebody Tempest Veyra, launched November 1, 2026, for pre-order. Paddletek's product page names JW and Jorja Johnson under "Trusted by the Pros" without saying which shape each uses; The Kitchen reports Jorja Johnson uses this widebody version, and its November 6, 2026 tracker also lists Camden Chaffin on it. Paddletek sells it in one thickness (16 mm) and three colors; the color a player uses and any pro-only build are not stated. Retail specification only, not a measurement of any player's paddle.
