Quang Duong plays the Wika QD — his signature line (QD Air and QD Fire) after signing with Wika in early 2026.
One of the sport’s most exciting young talents, Quang Duong gets asked: what paddle does he use? His own Wika QD signature paddles.
I’m Jason Regan, a USA Pickleball Ambassador for North Central Massachusetts, following the pro tours.
What is Quang Duong’s paddle?
In February 2026, Duong signed with Wika, a Vietnam-based brand, and launched a signature line: the QD Air (Wika’s first full-foam core, in 14mm and 16mm for speed or control) and the QD Fire (a Gen-6 carbon face built for explosive power). The partnership even includes a distinct 48-hole match ball.
Why does he use it?
Duong is a fast, explosive young shot-maker. His QD paddles are tuned for speed and power — the Air for quicker hands and the Fire for aggressive drives — matching his high-energy game.
Should you use Quang Duong’s paddle?
Wika is a newer, less widely distributed brand in the U.S., so availability varies. If you want a similar fast, powerful feel from a more established brand, our best paddles guide has options.
