Shoe Guide: Volume 1
Built from what we see on our courts every week, this guide highlights the pickleball shoes our community actually wears and trusts. Including popular options from Babolat and Diadem.
We kept it simple on purpose. Instead of deep technical specs, this guide focuses on what matters most for pickleball players: comfort, stability, and speed. Whether you’re new to the game or playing multiple times a week, the right pickleball shoes can help improve movement, reduce injury risk, and keep you on the court longer.

Paddle Guide: Volume 1
This guide is built from what we see on our courts every week at our events. These are the pickleball paddles our community actually uses and trusts. Featuring popular paddles from Selkirk, JOOLA, Diadem, Volair, and RPM, these picks are based on real matches and real feedback.
We focus on the three things that matter most when choosing a paddle: power, control, and forgiveness. No overthinking just clear guidance to help you find a paddle that fits your game.
