Pickleball Gifts Recommended for the Pickleball Addict

The team at PickleballMAX has put together product recommendations for the person who wants to maximize their picklebility — including their function, fashion, and health & wellness on the pickleball courts.

The Pickleball Planner

Let’s be honest. Making your pickleball goals and tracking results takes time. It also requires brutal honesty. You will be most effective in accomplishing your goals, however, if you write them down with corresponding action steps – perhaps in a 160-page pickleball planner (in color) designed specifically for the pickleball addict… you know, one that fits conveniently in your pickleball bag for easy reference and review – complete with monthly & weekly calendars, trackers, goal sheets, rules interpretations and so much more!

Men’s Pickleball Shoes

For pickleball players, proper footwear is critical to prevent injuries. Walking/running shoes are made to support you moving forward not lateral movements from side-to-side. I highly recommend court shoes or tennis shoes when playing pickleball. It’s an investment well worth making. Here are my specific recommendations for the men.


Women’s Pickleball Shoes

For pickleball players, proper footwear is critical to prevent injuries. Walking/running shoes are made to support you moving forward not lateral movements from side-to-side. I highly recommend court shoes or tennis shoes when playing pickleball. It’s an investment well worth making. Here are my specific recommendations for women.


Fitbit Activity Trackers

Fitbit activity trackers are great to track steps, distance, calories burned, active minutes, heart rate, and more. I have the Fitbit HR 2. It has been critical for me in measuring my fitness level. My typical game of pickleball results in approximately 750-1,000 steps. Sure beats the treadmill! 🙂


Water Bottles

Water bottles are a must to replenish fluids. Last year I purchased the Hydroflask 32 oz. water bottle and absolutely love it. It’s made of stainless steel and keeps my water cold all day in the hot sun. Here are my recommendations:


Electrolytes

Stay hydrated with Jigsaw Health electrolytes. Jigsaw is a great alternative to chemical-filled Gatorade and Powerade. Be sure to use code ‘PICKLEBALLMAX10‘ to save $10 on your purchase.

Paddles

Finally, you didn’t think I’d forget paddles, did you? Virtually every pickleball player — at one time or another — dreams of a new paddle. Amazin’ Aces has a great selection for beginners and intermediate players.

I also have some recommended paddles for the more advanced players — including the Tantrum T3, Tantrum V, and Tantrum GXT from TMPR Sports.

    What is your opinion about the elongated pickleball racket?

      Hi Julie, I have never personally played with an elongated pickleball paddle. However, the extra reach seems really appealing. Many different brands now offer the elongated paddle. I would recommend trying a few out to see how it feels to you. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to try some. See you on the courts!

      I would think longer paddles would pose an overwhelming advantage to the user over other players because paddles are so light and maneuverable. Much like how tennis racquets have been modified to the point where technique has become irrelevant. At higher levels of play though, the player is sacrificing things such as stability, maneuverability, swing speed etc etc if they decide to go with a very heavy racquet, or a racquet 1 inch longer. So having regulations on tennis racquets isn’t really necessary because of the pros and cons.

      Is that similar with pickleball paddles? Or is there really not much of a sacrifice to such things as maneuverability, sweet spot, precision, stability etc to warrant being concerned about regulations to equipment?

      Or is pickleball young enough to where we don’t have to worry about that for another decade. lol

      Love the website.

        Hi Alex, Thank you for your comments. There are, indeed, pickleball paddle specifications, as can be found in Rule #2.E in the Official Rulebook. Within the rulebook there are specifications for paddle material, roughness, size, weight, alterations, etc… For example, the combined length and width of the paddle cannot exceed 24 inches. The paddle length cannot exceed 17 inches. Hope that helps!

    Hey guys, this morning I lost my paddle during play. Temperatures around 90, sweat pouring. Any suggestions about a replacement grip to help with problem. Fortunately I haven’t hit anyone as of yet.

      Hi Rick, I would opt for a tacky over-grip. Perhaps a gamma over-grip that gets applied over (on top of) your original grip. Hope that helps.
