Men’s PPA Touring Pros & Paddles

Ever wonder what pickleball paddles the pros are using? Choosing the best pickleball paddle can be tricky, but it’s key for improving your game. When picking a paddle, you need to think about the paddle’s material, weight, grip size, and face texture. Each of these features affects how the paddle performs and feels in your hand.

The “sweet spot” on the paddle’s face is especially important. This is the area where you get the most power and control when hitting the ball. If you want to play like a pro, knowing what paddles top players use can help.

Here’s a complete list of top-ranked players and their pickleball paddles used according to PPA Tour. Keep in mind, though, that professional players often switch paddles based on what they like or what their sponsors provide. So, this list might not always be up-to-date or completely accurate.
