The best all-court pickleball paddles

The Jelly Bean 2 features a softer, denser EMA foam core with sneaky power, wrapped in the brand’s popular “HexGrit” surface. The Jelly Bean 2 comes in four shapes and three incredible colorways that set this paddle apart from almost everything else on the market.

JOOLA introduced a new “KineticFrame” in its Pro V models, which was inspired by kick-point engineering in hockey sticks and golf clubs.

The KineticFrame is built to flex and recover during impact while the paddle head moves parallel to its original position.

The dual-pivot design produces a motion that JOOLA engineers say delivers:

– Predictable & repeatable exit trajectory.
– Precise power (ie. the more you put in, the more you get out).
– Reduced launch-angle deviation.
– Faster snapback for rapid exchanges.
– Improved energy transfer efficiency.

The Omni prioritizes feel and controllability over raw power and features removable/repositionable weights that let you customize swing weight, stability and power in seconds without tungsten tape or tools. Combined with Selkirk’s Infinigrit Surface and new core construction, this feels like a very different direction from the Boomstik, and honestly one that we think will fit most players better.

The Six Zero Coral Pro took everything that made the original Six Zero Coral an extremely popular paddle and made it even better. The Coral Pro features Six Zero's new "Double Diamond Tough" surface, a UPA-approved texture that delivers exceptional spin and long-lasting durability. It also maintains the plush feel, stability and all-court control that made the Coral a favorite for many players.

This paddle — designed by pro player James Ignatowich — has everything a player could want: Top-tier spin, great power and effortless control.

Right now the RPM Friction Pro comes in 4 options: 16mm elongated, 14mm elongated, 16mm widebody and 14mm widebody.

The 16mm version of the C45 Dynasty is the current paddle of choice for Hayden Patriquin, while Anna Leigh Waters (who signed with Franklin in early 2026) uses the 14mm hybrid. The entire C45 series has gotten great reviews and been a popular choice among pros and high-level amateurs since it’s release in 2025.

We recently went back and re-tested it against some of the more recent releases and found that it still holds up as a great option in the modern paddle landscape.

Proton developed a unique foam core in the Peacock, giving it a softer and more responsive feel without sacrificing good power. It also features the same gritty carbon fiber surface that made the Project Flamingo a popular choice for many players in 2025, so it’s easy to add a lot of shape on all kinds of shots.

The Peacock comes in four models: 15mm elongated, 13mm elongated, 15mm widebody, 13mm widebody. The 13mm widebody is our favorite option for doubles, while the 15mm elongated is our favorite option for singles.

This paddle comes in two thicknesses — 14mm and 16mm — and both are very solid. The 14mm version offers slightly more pop and power, while the 16mm version offers a very stable and consistent feel.

The Warping Point Sophon was released in 2026 and features a soft foam core that delivers a plush, stable feel and great forgiveness on off-center hits. It also has dependable power when you need it on bigger swings, such as third-shot drives and putaways.

The 2026 version of the Luzz Glider comes in a hybrid shape that has a very low swingweight, making it extremely maneuverable in hands battles at the kitchen line. It's competitive in terms of performance with several paddles that are twice the price or more.
