Must-have pickleball gear from Amazon
You just can’t beat the convenience of Amazon, especially if it’s on Amazon Prime. If your paddle breaks or you need a new set of Franklin pickleballs before open play tonight, Amazon can be the easiest option for delivering your new gear quickly.
I’ve compiled a list of my must-have pickleball gear all on Amazon.
Best Pickleball Paddles on Amazon
While Amazon’s paddle selection isn’t the biggest, they have some solid paddle brands available including JOOLA, Franklin, and CRBN. Some of these brands have been making high quality paddles for years, which is a better investment than taking a chance on a random brand you’ve never heard of, getting it delivered to your door, and finding out that it’s just a piece of plywood and plastic.
These are the best paddles on Amazon:
JOOLA Pro V pickleball paddle
Franklin C45 pickleball paddle
Luzz T700 pickleball paddle
CRBN TruFoam Barrage pickleball paddle
If these paddle brands are good enough for the best pickleball athletes in the game, then I’m glad to see them represented on Amazon.
Top Pickleball Gear
From pickleballs to ball machines, Amazon has a lot of great options to help build your game. While I have no room in my apartment for a portable pickleball net, it’s nice to know they have one at the ready when I move into a house one day.
Here’s some pickleball gear that will elevate your game on the court:
Franklin pickleballs are a go-to on the rec courts. And I particularly appreciate how you can order a set of three, 12, 50, all the way to a 400 pack of pickleballs.
Lobster pickleball machine for when you don’t have a drill partner and need to drill your forehand drives a thousand times. A ball machine is the perfect supplement.
And the JOOLA Tour Elite backpack to carry all your necessities for a busy tournament day.
Now this next must-have may seem random, but hydration is pivotal for pickleball, especially if you’re playing outside in the hot sun. So having some electrolyte powder on hand to add to your water between games is essential. The Ultima Replenisher Daily electrolyte powder is my favorite of all the electrolytes on the market.
And finally, you need a water bottle. Of course everyone has their favorites from Stanley’s to Yeti’s, but my current favorite is my 24 oz Owala. For one, I love all the color variants. But I also like how I can just throw it in my bag and not worry about a spill. So up your hydration game with a new water bottle and pack your electrolytes too.
Favorite Pickleball Shoes
I’d argue that shoes are the most important part of your pickleball outfit. Shoes can either make you feel comfortable, confident, and stable in your game, or they can lead to serious injury. So choose your shoes wisely.
Thankfully, my favorite pickleball shoes are on Amazon.
PB5Star Court2 men’s pickleball shoes
PB5Star Court2 women’s pickleball shoes
I’ve tried a lot of pickleball shoes, but my favorites by far are from PB5Star. I have high arches, and the built-in arch supports are a big win for me. Additionally, they come in a variety of colors for both men and women.
