As Pickleball players we have hundreds of Pickleball paddles to choose from. More come on the market each month so it’s hard to know which one too choose. Since I’m in the market for a new paddle, I did an exhaustive review of Pickleball paddles to understand which ones consistently have great reviews across the...
Companies like Selkirk, Paddletek, and Prolite have designed and pioneered countless innovations in the game and continue to do so today!
