The short answer

Catherine Parenteau's most likely paddle is the Proton Project Coyote, seen in Pickleballtv footage of her November 6, 2026 World Championships quarterfinal, while September reports named a Luzz Glider and her PPA Tour profile lists the JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V 14mm. Her thickness, playing weight, tape placement, grip build, overgrip, and shoes are pending.

Catherine Parenteau is a right-handed Canadian professional pickleball player who grew up in Montreal. Her PPA Tour profile says she turned pro in 2016 and currently resides in Miami, Florida.

Proton Project Coyote Elongated 15MM

Most likely Conflicting reports

Seen in her November 6, 2026 Worlds quarterfinal footage and reported at the September 2026 Arizona Open; the Luzz Glider reports date from early September and the PPA Tour listing is undated.

Observed: Seen in tour footage of one match; thickness, weight, tape, grip build and later use are not shown, and no Proton sponsorship is sourced.

Catherine Parenteau - PPA Tour athlete profile Tour profile · checked Nov 7, 2026

She is described as unsigned. Pickleballtv footage of her November 6, 2026 World Championships quarterfinal shows the Proton Project Coyote, which the PPA Tour also reported at the September 2026 Arizona Open and The Kitchen at the Worlds. The Kitchen and pickleball.com reported a Luzz Glider around the September Nationals, and her undated PPA Tour profile lists the JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V 14mm. One match does not establish later use or a sponsorship, so the other reports stay visible.

Thickness

Pending

Pending. Model spec only: Proton sells the Project Coyote only as Elongated 15mm, but the November 6, 2026 footage does not show thickness and a pro may use a custom build. pickleball.com lists her Luzz Glider as 16mm, and the PPA profile says 14mm for the JOOLA.

No current source verifies her overgrip.

Catherine-branded grip products exist but are not evidence of what she uses.

Paddle · reason not stated

Proton Project Coyote, reported at the Veolia Arizona Open

Luzz Glider, reported around the September 2026 Nationals Proton Project Coyote, reported at the Veolia Arizona Open

The Glider reports were added to this record on November 1, 2026. Dated to the PPA article's publication; the sources disagree about the same weeks, so this is a reported sequence, not a confirmed switch.

Nov 6, 2026

Paddle · reason not stated

Proton Project Coyote, most likely (seen in footage of her November 6, 2026 Worlds quarterfinal)

Unresolved: Proton Project Coyote, Luzz Glider or JOOLA Scorpeus Pro V 14mm, with no lead Proton Project Coyote, most likely (seen in footage of her November 6, 2026 Worlds quarterfinal)

Dated to the observed match. One match in tour footage; later use, thickness and any sponsorship are not established, and the Luzz Glider and JOOLA reports remain as conflicting candidates.
