ACCESSORIES
Mother's Day Pink Visor

With Mother's Day coming up we decided to drop a limited edition Pink & White The Kitchen visor! The 3D-puffed embroidered logo really pops with the bright pink.
All of our hats are crafted and custom embroidered by Imperial, the Official Headwear of The Kitchen.
Pickleball-themed jewelry

We don't claim to be jewelry experts here at The Kitchen, but there are tons of cool options on Pickleball Central for moms and all women to add a little pickleball swag to outfits both on court and off.
PADDLES
JOOLA Anna Bright Scorpeus Pro IV

Designed in conjunction with Anna Bright, one of the top women's players in the game, this paddle is a great option for women of all skill levels. It has a low swingweight of 111, which along with its 14mm thickness makes it very maneuverable. It also has a forgiving sweet spot due to its wider shape and great pop at the kitchen line.
Check out our breakdown of the entire Pro IV line here.
Weight: 8.0 ounces
Handle length: 5.25 inches
Paddle length: 16 inches
Paddle width: 8 inches
Paddle surface: Carbon Friction Surface
Core: Propulsion + Tech Flex Power
Thickness: 14mm
Paddletek Bantam ALW-C

This paddle was designed to the specifications of Anna Leigh Waters, the No. 1 women's pickleball player in the world. Aside from being known for her killer two-handed backhand, Waters also does a lot of damage on the court by hitting aggressive third-shot drives and drops that dip hard toward her opponents' feet.
The high spin potential of this paddle helps her execute those shots, as well as aggressive topspin dinks at the kitchen line. Plus, it comes in a pink option that moms are sure to love.
Weight: 7.7 ounces
Handle length: 5.25 inches
Paddle length: 15.625 inches
Paddle width: 7.75 inches
Paddle face: PT-700 unidirectional RAW carbon fiber
Core material: Bantam Polymer Honeycomb
Core thickness: 12.7mm or 14.3mm
Proton Series Three - Project Flamingo

For the women who are looking to add more power to their game, the Series Three - Project Flamingo will do the trick. It features a more powerful core than the original Series Three and a very gritty hitting surface for maximum pop and spin. It has earned the No. 3 spot on our list of the top 10 pickleball paddles on the market for those reasons.
The Flamingo, released in January, was quickly adopted by several pros on the PPA Tour and the 15mm “Velocity Core” -- combined with top-tier spin -- has earned this paddle a reputation as one of the most aggressive on the market. It comes in pink or blue (shown above) options.
Check out our in-depth review of the Series Three - Project Flamingo.
Weight: 8 ounces
Handle length: 5.375 inches
Paddle length: 16.5 inches
Paddle width: 7.5 inches
Paddle face: Roughness-enhanced aerospace grade carbon fiber
Core material: Velocity core, polypropylene honeycomb
Core thickness: 15mm
PICKLEBALL BAGS
JOOLA Britto x Tour Elite Pickleball Bag

This is one of the best looking bags on the market and a perfect gift for any pickleball-loving mom.
This pickleball bag has seemingly thought of it all. The tough external fabric handles daily wear and tear, multiple thermal-insulated pockets store several paddles and the dual-zipper main pocket allows players to bring layers, shoes and ton of other gear to the courts.
Proton Pickleball Backpack

Proton is no stranger to making quality, durable bags, having started as a softball company.
This bag comes in four colors -- Proton Pink, Atomic Blue, Nuclear Navy and Graphite Gray -- and much like Proton's paddles, this bag looks great no matter what color you choose.
