About Paddletek
Paddletek began as a family business with one clear mission: build paddles that last and elevate the game.
Our Story
For the relentless, the passionate, the ones chasing one more game, one more point, one more personal best.
At Paddletek, we build paddles that drive the sport forward—from neighborhood courts to the biggest stages in pickleball.
Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, and now headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Paddletek has built a legacy of innovation, performance and winning. Today, we are proud to be the Paddle of the Pros, trusted by a world-class roster of athletes including Christian Alshon, JW Johnson, Jorja Johnson, Tyra “Hurricane” Black and Zane Navratil, among others.
But being the Paddle of the Pros has never meant building only for the pros...
We are a paddle for the people.
Everyday players are at the heart of everything we do. The competitors chasing their first tournament win. The friends squeezing in one more game before dark. The families discovering the sport together. The communities being built one court at a time.
We work alongside the best players in the world to push the boundaries of performance, then bring that knowledge, innovation and confidence to players at every level.
Because progress isn't reserved for the podium.
It's for everyone who steps on the court believing their best game is still ahead.
OUR PASSION
Everything we do comes back to our passion for the game. From sponsoring tournaments to pioneering new technology and maintaining strict quality control, we’re working to advance the sport of pickleball and help every player reach their full potential.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
We’ve been changing the game since 2010, when we first introduced our advanced honeycomb core. Since then, we’ve expanded our product line with more groundbreaking innovations—like our Smart Response Technology and vibration control—and fine-tuning the perfect paddle for every style of play and every type of athlete.

As a professional player sponsored by Paddletek,
I have experienced outstanding customer service. When I place orders for myself and my students I receive friendly and prompt service. If something needs to be replaced, Paddletek is very efficient and willing to help. Furthermore, the quality of Paddletek’s paddles and gear is unmatched.

Paddletek is an amazing company.
Their products are high quality, customer service is amazing, and they stand behind their products. I am so grateful to be a Paddletek Ambassador and feel extremely honored to be a part of their team. I have been on the medal stand over 50 times since 2018 and the one thing that all of these photos have in common is that I played with a PADDLETEK PADDLE! Thank you again to the entire staff at Paddletek. #TeamPaddletek

Your company is outstanding!
I called with many questions as I don't know much about pickleball or the different models you offer. I experienced the best customer service from Shannon. She took her time to thoroughly explain the paddles to me, which was such a great help. It is wonderful to actually speak with someone who knows the products and truly wants to help us find the best paddle for our needs.
