Pickleball Paddles - Find Your Match at PickePro Shop

Every player needs a paddle that responds predictably to their swing style and grip strength. Our pickleball store stocks paddles engineered for different hand sizes, swing speeds, and court strategies. From our Junior series, designed for family play and introducing kids to the sport, to the Max line built for competitive matches, each paddle uses specific materials and construction methods to deliver consistent ball response.

Our paddles share three proven benefits: durability through polypropylene honeycomb cores that resist compression over thousands of hits, performance via weight distribution that places mass where your swing mechanics need it most, and comfort through moisture-wicking grips that maintain tackiness during long matches. These features work together whether you're learning basic strokes or executing tournament-level strategies.

FAQs

1. What are the best pickleball paddles?

The best pickleball paddles match your playing style and skill level. Control players benefit from larger sweet spots like our Junior series with 13mm polypropylene cores. Power players prefer efficient energy transfer found in our Max series with 16mm cores and carbon fiber faces. Key factors include weight (212g Junior, 220g Max), proper grip size for your hand, and core materials that suit your swing speed.
2. Where can I buy pickleball paddles?

You can purchase quality pickleball paddles directly from our pickleball store at PickePro Shop. We offer complete specifications for our Junior series (Miami, Malibu, Phoenix) and Max series (Seattle, Berlin) with expert guidance. Buying directly from manufacturers ensures accurate technical details and proper product support.
3. What paddles do pickleball pros use?

Professional players typically use 7.7-8.5oz paddles with carbon fiber faces and textured surfaces for spin generation. They prefer thermoformed construction, USAPA approval, and consistent weight tolerances (±10g). Our Max series incorporates these professional features, including carbon fiber CAS finish and competitive-grade construction.
4. What is the best material for pickleball paddles?

Carbon fiber faces provide durability and spin potential (our Max series), while fiberglass offers balanced performance (our Junior series). Polypropylene honeycomb cores deliver optimal strength-to-weight ratios with vibration dampening - used in all PickePro models. Moisture-wicking grips maintain tackiness during extended play.
5. How long do pickleball paddles last?

Quality paddles last 1-3 years, depending on usage. Recreational players (2-3x weekly) get 18-24 months, while competitive players need replacement after 12-18 months. Our polypropylene cores resist degradation longer than foam alternatives. Replace when you notice dead spots, grip wear, or edge delamination.
6. Why do some pickleball paddles have holes?

Pickleball paddles don't have holes - you're thinking of the ball. Paddle faces must be solid per USAPA regulations. Some grips feature perforated patterns for ventilation, but the hitting surface remains solid. Any holes in the paddle face would be illegal for tournament play.
7. What are good pickleball paddles made of?

Quality paddles combine carbon fiber or fiberglass faces with polypropylene honeycomb cores. Our Max series uses carbon fiber for maximum performance, while Junior series features fiberglass for balanced play. Both include precision-molded handles, protective edge guards, and moisture-wicking grips designed for durability and consistent performance.
