My Story: How It All Started
In 2019, Pickleball Effect was founded by Braydon Unsicker – a passionate pickleball player. Frustrated with the lack of detailed information available about pickleball paddles, Braydon decided to provide unbiased paddle reviews to educate and guide players in finding the perfect paddle.
The response from the pickleball community exceeded Braydon’s expectations, highlighting the need for transparency and assistance in paddle research and selection. Currently, Braydon runs Pickleball Effect alongside his brother, Riley. Braydon actively plays pickleball several times a week and competes at the 5.0 level in 5-10 tournaments a year.
