There are countless companies selling Pickleball paddles. Many brands create cheap knock-off paddles from China that are low quality, don’t last long, and often develop dead spots quickly.
Buyer beware! Buying a cheap paddle could end up costing you more money down the road because you’ll have to replace it constantly. It can also mess up your game when your paddle isn’t able to hit consistent shots.
If you’re serious about Pickleball and want to get a good paddle, here are the best brands we recommend shopping from.
