Pickleball Gear FAQs

Do you sell balls in bulk?
Yes! We stock Franklin X-40s and other tournament-grade balls. While we don't have a specific "100-pack" listing, our 30% Member Discount allows you to build your own bulk order at wholesale prices.
What is the best overgrip for sweaty hands?
For hot climates, we recommend "Dry" feel grips like the original Tourna Grip (the blue one) or dry-tack hybrids. If you play in cooler weather, a "Tacky" grip offers better adherence.
Do I really need protective eyewear?
We highly recommend it. Pickleballs travel at 40-50mph and deflections off paddles are unpredictable. A simple pair of clear, shatterproof glasses is the cheapest insurance for your eyes.

Guide: What's in a Pro's Bag?

Don't show up to the court unprepared. Beyond your paddle, here are the 3 essentials every serious player keeps in their bag.

The Essentials Checklist

  • 3+ Outdoor Balls: Balls crack, warp, and get lost. Always have backups (X-40s are the gold standard).
  • Fresh Overgrips: A slippery handle ruins your soft game. Change your overgrip every 10-15 hours of play.
  • Edge Guard Tape: Protect your investment. A strip of electrical or specialized edge tape prevents scrapes on your paddle's rim.
