Every paddle, ball and shoe — with its real specs
We don't sell gear. We describe it accurately and show you who does, at what price, last checked when.
Which core thickness?
14mm hits harder, 16mm forgives more. The difference is two millimetres and most of how a paddle feels.

Every price here belongs to a retailer, is shown in their currency, and carries the date we last checked it. Click through and you buy from them, not from us.
Start with paddlesHow this index works
ThePickleBase Shop is a catalogue of pickleball gear, not a store. We describe what a thing is, list its real specifications, and point you at the retailers who have it — then get out of the way.
Get in touchHow we pick
Do you sell these?
No. We hold no stock and take no payments. Every buy button sends you to the retailer's own product page, where you buy from them under their terms.
How do you make money?
Affiliate commission. If you buy after following one of our links, the retailer pays us a share. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not change the price you are shown or the order products appear in.
How do you decide what to list?
We index gear that is actually sold to pickleball players, and we write down its real specifications. Ordering is editorial — our own judgement — never paid placement.
Buying
Are the prices live?
They are the last price we observed at that retailer, and every product page shows when that was. A retailer can change a price at any time, so treat ours as a very recent snapshot and the retailer's page as the truth.
Which retailers do you cover?
Every offer on a product page names its retailer and, where we know it, where that retailer ships to. We add retailers over time; a product with one offer simply means one is all we have found so far.
How do I report a wrong price or spec?
Tell us and we will fix it. A wrong number on a page whose job is being right about numbers is a bug, and we treat it as one.
