Accessories

Beyond a paddle, balls and court shoes, most players carry a pickleball bag, a fresh overgrip and edge guard tape from our paddle accessories, protective eyewear or sunglasses, and a water bottle from our hydration collection. Add braces or tape from injury and recovery if you need extra support.

It's a smart choice, especially in doubles, where fast exchanges at the kitchen line can send a ball toward your face. Protective eyewear like the Onix Falcon, Eagle and Owl, the Head Raptor, and Kitchen Blockers Lensless Protective Glasses is designed to stay put during quick movement. For outdoor glare, choose sports sunglasses.

A fresh overgrip is the quickest and most affordable fix. Choose a tacky grip for control, or a cushioned one for comfort, from our grips collection, including the Lizard Skins DSP Ultra. A tacky towel helps keep your hands dry between points, and players with sweaty hands often prefer pickleball gloves.

Bring more water than you think you'll need and sip between games, not only when you feel thirsty. A large bottle or jug, like the Nike Fuel Jug 40oz or 64oz Chug, covers a full round robin. On hot days or tournament days, a sports drink like CWENCH helps replace electrolytes. Shop all hydration products.

Warm up before you play, wear proper court pickleball shoes, and stay hydrated. For joints that need extra support, our injury and recovery collection includes ankle and knee braces from McDavid, elbow bands for tennis elbow, and KT Tape. If you have pain that doesn't go away, see a doctor or physiotherapist.

Accessories make great gifts because they work with any paddle. Popular choices include a pickleball bag, a paddle cover or overgrips from our paddle accessories, a pack of balls, a water bottle, sunglasses, or a performance hat. Not sure what they need? A Pickleball Town gift card lets them choose.
