Why are Pickleball so expensive?

submitted 2 weeks ago by melthomson78 to games

Pickleball paddles can be expensive because they are made with advanced materials like graphite or carbon fiber that improve performance. These materials make paddles lighter, stronger, and more durable compared to basic options. Many high-end paddles also feature special cores and textured surfaces for better control, power, and spin. The cost reflects the technology, research, and quality manufacturing that go into creating a professional-level paddle.
