Pickleball paddles often miss the mark when it comes to meeting the needs of female players. This realization sparked a journey for our team at Paddlesshop, all thanks to a simple question from Ken, who champions inclusivity in sports. He approached us with an idea: let’s create a paddle designed just for women, featuring bright colors and a comfortable grip that would help female players shine on the court.

The Challenge
As we explored the market, Ken’s insights proved true. Most paddles were made with men in mind, leaving many women feeling overlooked in a sport they love. This discovery fueled our passion to make a change. We recognized the challenges female players face—paddles that are too heavy, grips that don’t fit well, and designs that lack flair.

The Collaboration
To address these issues, we brought together a talented group of friends: Kelly, Dennis, and Michael. We shared ideas and experiences, each contributing valuable perspectives on what women truly want in a paddle.

Through this collaboration, we pinpointed essential features that would make our paddle not only functional but also empowering. We wanted every woman who picked up our paddle to feel confident and capable.
