About This Site

The Pickleball Gear List reviews the gear that keeps recreational players on the court longer: lightweight paddles that are kind to a sore elbow, court shoes built for side-to-side movement, portable nets for driveway practice, tools that save your back and knees between drills, and the supports many of us wear for an old injury. Every pick is written for people who play doubles at the park or the rec center, not for pros chasing sponsorships.

Playing Safety

Pickleball is easy to pick up, but most injuries in players over 50 come from the same few things: falling while backpedaling for a lob, rolling an ankle on a quick sideways step, and overuse in the elbow, shoulder and knee. Never run backward for an overhead. Turn and move, or let the ball go. Wear court shoes made for lateral movement rather than running shoes, which are built for straight-ahead motion and can let your foot roll over the edge of the sole.

A knee sleeve or brace can make an old injury feel more stable, but it is not a treatment and it does not replace advice from a doctor or physical therapist. If you have joint pain that lasts more than a few days, a heart condition, balance problems or you are coming back from surgery, talk to your doctor before you start or increase play. Warm up for five to ten minutes, drink water, and take breaks in the heat.

For driveway and street practice, set a portable net well away from traffic, on a flat surface with no loose gravel, and check that its base legs are locked before you hit against it. Pick up stray balls before you step, since stepping on one is a common way to fall.
