Gryp Pickleball Balance 1 Paddle

Use promo code: Sg15 for 15% off

This paddle is one of the coolest in the market because it’s got the latest technology and the ability to switch the weight at the bottom to allow for lot more customization!

It also comes with a paddle cover and eraser, making it a fantastic gift. I really enjoy having the balance as someone with a tennis background. I have tried other brands such as Gearbox, Selkirk, Vulcan, and Vatic so I can personally say this paddle stands out compared to others!

Pickleball Ball Holder Cable

I saw this on a girl’s bag one day and I was so intrigued by the design! it’s easy to clip onto a bag and perfect for those who prefer to use a bag that is not a pickleball bag or if you ran out of room in your pickleball bag.

I don’t recommend this if you travel and compete since your balls are likely to be damaged. However, this is great for local play and visually, you can already see how many balls you have left so that you can stock up and never run short.

Pickleball Pickup Tube

For those that are serious about improving, then they should consider getting a pickup tube for drilling. #1 men’s doubles team: Ben and Collin Johns do not play rec games. Instead they solely drill with each other to get better.

With drilling, you hit a lot of balls of the same type and after, there are many balls to pick-up after. This tube is great because you do not have to bend down. Especially after some rigorous drilling, this is a plus because you are more tired by the end of the class. Similar to tennis baskets if you have ever used them, you just apply a little pressure and the ball slides in and doesn’t come out until you empty it.

Pickleball Ball Retriever

This pickleball ball retriever is a great gift for anyone who has a back issue or someone elderly that is less flexible.

I personally would not play with this because the addition adds weight and drag which impacts my swing speed. Since I travel and compete in tournaments, it’s not ideal for me. However, I would invest in one of these for my future as pickleball is a lifetime sport and I don’t plan to quit anytime soon!
