What Pickleball gear do I personally use?

Paddle: Joola Scorpeus CFS 14mm

I switched from a balanced long format Hyperion to the Anna Bright 14mm Scorpeus. My game has changed as a result. A lighter and more powerful paddle, together with the more gritty material, lets me play a bit more of a power and top spin game then before.

Overgrip: Wilson

I always add an overgrip to my paddle to very modestly increase the diameter of the grip, and more importantly to increase the tackiness so that I can hold my paddle very loose/softly. It also helps with sweat, and can be replaced regularly so that the handle does not look, well dirty from use.

 

Googles

Please wear eye protection. I have a strong prescription so my choice of googles are limited. Mine is from Lens Crafters, brand name Guardian model GRXS13. If you just need non prescription, or lighter prescription there are better models out there by other brands.

 

My backup / Previous paddle is the Joola Ben Johns 16 mm Hyperion.
