Pickleball Paddle Reviews That Actually Help
All our paddle reviews are player tested, unbiased and in-depth. Stop the guesswork. It’s time to find the best paddle for your game!
Player Tested
We drill and play with every paddle for at least two weeks before we write our review. Plus, we share the paddle with all levels of players to form an accurate representation of its performance.
Unbiased
We are not affiliated with any paddle brand and do not accept payments to do reviews. Our opinions are not influenced by anything other than how we thought the paddles performed.
In-Depth
Our paddle reviews go beyond the surface and dive into the nitty gritty details that only pickleball players know and care about.
FEATURED REVIEW
CRBN TruFoam Genesis Review
CRBN’s innovative foam core technology delivers a paddle that is more durable and that feels more intuitive than polymer cores, with aggressive all-court playability. This technology could very well be a peek into the future of paddle core technology.
