I’m a dad and HUGE pickleballer. Pickleball dragged me out of an office chair and back into fresh air. Since 2022, I’ve tested more paddles and shoes than most retailers stock. Friends kept asking what to buy, so I built this guide.
My goal: save you time and money when you gear up. No jargon, no fluff, just clear reviews, specs, and honest takes from real play.
I buy and test every product or borrow it from partners, then pass along the pros, cons, and numbers. If a paddle feels dead or tips the scale at 250 g when the box claims 230, I tell you.
