Selecting Your Pickleball Paddle

Selecting your next (or first!) pickleball paddle can be a daunting endeavour. Luckily, our friends at Courtside Sports (Tyler, specifically), can help alleviate some of the questions, and stress you may have. Check out our YouTube series on selecting your paddle. Tyler also covers the maintenance and customization for your paddle once you’ve made your next purchase.

Still have questions? If you’re in the Victoria area, drop by Courtside Sports and a team member there will be able to set you up in person.
