There are a LOT of pickleball paddles that have been released in the past few weeks, but a handful of them have genuinely stood out to us in our play testing.

In this paddle roundup, we’re taking a look at those five paddles, which offer very different playing characteristics and will be a good fit for a wide range of players. You can also use code “KITCHEN” at checkout to get a discount on all of these paddles.

From control and feel to serious power, each of these paddles brings something different to the table, and we break down how they play, what makes each one unique, and who should consider adding each paddle to their bag.

If you’re looking for a new paddle but don’t know where to start, hopefully this gives you a few options worth checking out.

NOTE: We just got the new RPM Jade. This paddle has incredible spin and has Tier-1 durable grit. Full review coming soon.
