All Pickleball Paddle Reviews by Pickleball Effect

See all of Pickleball Effect’s reviews organized by the date they were released

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. Our opinions are not influenced by anything other than how we thought they performed. We're brutally honest and will tell you the good and the bad.

In-Depth

Our paddle reviews go beyond the surface and dive into the nitty gritty details that only pickleball players know or care about.
