Rumors have been circulating for months that #1 ranked women's pro Anna Leigh Waters could be moving on from longtime sponsor Paddletek.
Some have speculated she'll land at JOOLA in what would certainly be a blockbuster deal. To date, those rumors have not been confirmed.
We've reached out to a number of parties involved in this story and will update this piece as new information becomes available.

What we do know is this: Anna Leigh, once the poster child of Paddletek, is no longer listed anywhere on the company's website.
Not the homepage. Not the paddle page. Not the "Team Paddletek" page.
You can still purchase a Bantam ALW-C (below), her signature paddle, but her name or image are nowhere to be found.
