From paddles to shoes to bags and accessories, here's what she really wants this year.
Sunday, May 10, is Mother's Day. A chance to show that special someone in your life just how much you care.
Or at least how much you know they care about pickleball.
You could go with flowers and a card like you do every year. Or you could give her what she really wants: a new paddle, pickleball bag, or massive box of Franklin X-40s.
To help guide you in the right direction, we've rounded up a select list of some of our favorite pickleball products we know she'll love (because our mothers are getting one of them, too).
She's been with you through everything – high and low, thick and thin. The least you can do is get her that Boomstik she's been eyeing for months.

PADDLES
You know your mom best. But we know paddles. Here are some choice options for every type of player.
The RPM Q2 is becoming a fan-favorite for a reason: full foam means full power, but it's got enough pocketing and dwell to thrive at the kitchen line as well. You can't go wrong with the black on purple color scheme either.

The Coral is lauded for its playability across the court, but don't sleep on its power. The full-foam Propulsion Core and Diamond Tough texture give this paddle exceptional pop and feel.
The Boomstik makes headlines for industry-leading power, but don't sleep on its massive sweet spot and elite spin control either. It all boils up to a paddle that performs in all three zones of play.
Friday has arrived in the elite, pro-level paddle market with the Aura Pro. Its EPP foam core and carbon frame means it hits hard when you want it without sacrificing the small game.
Holbrook's unique dual-density core and internal weighting system makes it nearly impossible to miss the sweet spot. The Fuze is undoubtedly its most powerful paddle yet.
The J6CR is one of the most hyped power paddles on the market, and with good reason. It's floating foam core and unique elongated profile make it feel impossibly light in the hand without sacrificing power and performance.
CRBN put full-foam paddles on the map. The Barrage is their latest iteration on the TruFoam platform, dialing up the power without losing its signature touch and feel.
