What Pickleball Paddles do the Pros Use? Find Out Here

It’s only natural. We’re influenced by the greats in a sport. That’s why you see massive shoe endorsement deals inked by the likes of Steph Curry, Zion Williamson, or James Harden. We want the same shoes they wear because we’ll be able to run faster or jump higher. Or so we dream.

pickleball pro paddles

Pickleball is really no different. We want to know which paddle our favorite pro plays with because if we purchase that same paddle, surely the power, touch, and finesse from that paddle will transfer to our own games. We hope that the pickleball paddle that our favorite pro uses will instantly transform us from a 3.5/4.0 player to a 5.0 player who is competing for prize money on the PPA or APP Tour.

So which paddle does your favorite pro pickleball player use? The following lists – while not exhaustive – does provide insight into the paddle preferences for several of the top men and women pros in our sport:
