Every PicklePaw paddle is built like a $150 paddle — carbon fiber face, 16 mm polypropylene core, USAPA approved — then finished with an original illustration printed edge to edge. Spin, control, and a paddle people ask about.
Yes. Every Art Series paddle is USAPA approved and legal for sanctioned tournament and league play.
Will the artwork wear off?
No. The illustration is UV-printed and sealed beneath the paddle's surface finish. It's not a decal or sticker. Normal play, sweat, and sun won't fade it. Like any paddle, avoid dragging the face on concrete.
Is this a good paddle for beginners?
Absolutely. The 16 mm core gives you a large, forgiving sweet spot and softer feel, which is exactly what new players need. Intermediate players will appreciate the carbon fiber spin.
What grip size is it?
4.25" circumference — the most common size, comfortable for most adult hands. If you prefer a thicker grip, add one of our overgrips.
Made for the social side of pickleball.
Rec league on Tuesday, open play on Saturday, a friend who just got hooked. PicklePaw gear is built for the people who play because it's fun — and who'd like their paddle to say so.
