Pickleball Effect was created by pickleball enthusiast, Braydon Unsicker, in 2020. His mission has always been to help people find the right paddle for them so they can play their best pickleball.

When Braydon first starting playing pickleball he couldn’t stop. He’s not the only one too, it seems everyone who starts playing can’t stop. We call it the Pickleball Effect.

We’ve done in-depth reviews for nearly 100 paddles from the most popular brands. We didn’t like every paddle we’ve played and don’t feel confident recommending them all. We narrowed the paddles we’ve reviewed to the best 40 and included those as possible results.

We don’t sell every paddle we recommend but we do sell many of them. There are 100s of paddles on the market, it’s overwhelming. We have reviewed nearly 100 paddles from major brands and only sell/recommend the paddles we know are good. We’ve done the heavy lifting of reviewing a ton of paddles to narrow the list and make it easier for you to find your paddle.

We have published a ton of in-depth reviews from the most popular brands. Some paddles were good and some were bad. We are only recommending the paddles we thought were the best control, all-court, and power paddles to make it easier for you to find your paddle. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than flying blind when searching for paddles from every other major retailer.

We ultimately just want to help you find your paddle. Our selection of paddles have been vetted as quality paddles and we offer free shipping, free returns, and a price match guarantee. We put a lot of effort into product education so you can find the best paddle for you and know exactly what you are buying. We hope you’ll buy from us to support our efforts to bring more transparency into the paddle finding process.
