Picks of the week

Mens Diadora Trofeo 2 $105.00

The Trofeo is not only a comfortable option, but will keep players well-supported during those long pickleball sessions. A Suprelltech and Air Mesh upper keep the shoe plenty breathable while also providing plenty of stability. EVA foam in the midsole combined with Double Action technology provides optimal midfoot cushioning and flexibility allowing you to stay light on your feet during those quick exchanges. 

Crush Freestyle 16 Pickleball Paddle ​​$189.95

Aptly named, the CRUSH Freestyle 16 pickleball paddle is tuned to deliver easy power, and huge spin with enough touch to be in the all-court performance category, instead of pure power, or control. Manageable power, along with good comfort, and excellent paddle durability is afforded from its uni-body construction. 

JOOLA Simone Jardim Hyperion 3 Pickleball Paddle $279.95

Aside from a tasteful royal blue cosmetic, and only being available in the 16mm. form Simone Jardim's Hyperion 3 is identical to the other new signature Hyperion 3 paddle. You get the same noticeable upgrades with regards to the JOOLA's new Propulsion Polymer Core, and Charged Carbon Surface, which together bites the ball, like a junk yard dog, for excellent spin potential, dials in realistic power for back-court dominance, along with a seamless transition to testing anyone's control and skill near the kitchen.
