Reputable brands like Selkirk, Holbrook, Enhance, Six Zero, and more now offer high-tech paddles around the $100 mark.
We're not throwing any shade at more expensive paddles, but more and more, the financial barrier to entry to a high-quality pickleball paddle is dropping these days.
It wasn't long ago when anything under $100 was considered a cheap imitation to the real thing – not something any serious player would ever consider bringing into battle.
But now? The market is self-correcting. We already gave you a bunch of great options around the $150 mark. Now we're going even lower.
Believe it or not, there are a bunch of really great paddles on the market for around $100 or less. From highly reputable brands, no less. You just need to where to look.
