🤝 HUGE pickleball deals on Amazon right now!

Hi there,

In case you missed it, October 7–8 are Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days — basically a mini Prime Day packed with serious discounts.

These are one of the rare times I actually shop for paddles and shoes on Amazon, because the prices drop hard. Some of them are almost too good to believe.

If you’ve had gear sitting in your cart for a while, this is your sign to finally hit “Buy Now.”

To save you time, I rounded up the best pickleball deals worth jumping on right now. Just make sure to double-check the variant before you buy. 👇

Best overall deal: CRBN TruFoam Genesis at 20% off

$280 $224

We raved about the Genesis when it launched because it’s crazy forgiving at the kitchen but still has bite when you speed-up.

If you’ve been Genesis-curious, this is the moment.

Best value power: CRBN 3X series

$230 $168

I’ve called the CRBN 3X one of the better value power paddles all year. On Amazon it’s showing a meaningful Prime discount.

Just make sure you’re actually selecting 3X, as older CRBN listings can look similar at first glance. If you prefer something more forgiving, go with the TruFoam Genesis above.

Best beginner starter set: Selkirk SLK Neo

$90 $50

This has long been my go-to entry set for friends starting out. There are a few bundle variations during the sale:

Zip-up bag set: typically around $90, this is now showing a strong Prime price right now of $50.

Mesh drawstring set: Here's a cheaper take that’s also discounted. Get it for $33, versus the normal $40.

Either way, it’s a painless way to get two paddles and balls that don’t feel toy-ish.

Best “stock up” pick: Selkirk Pro S1 balls

Your rec group keeps cracking balls? Same. The Pro S1 is our durability pick in our guide to the best balls, and it's backed by a no-crack warranty.

I’m seeing good event pricing on 12-packs and bulk boxes — making this the perfect time to stock up.

Cheapest way into JOOLA (multiple options)

JOOLA has deep discounts on a few of its older models. No, they’re not the newest builds, but for everyday rec play they’re still a blast. Plus, I’ve never seen them this cheap.

I’ll highlight a few in particular:

• This Hyperion paddle is going for just $37.80, a remarkable 68% discount. It’s thinner than you’d expect, which gives you more hand speed but a little less power. Again, it’s not top-of-the-line, but it’s a great opportunity to try out a JOOLA paddle for an insanely low price.

• A thicker, more powerful version of the same paddle is on sale for $72.

• If you live at the kitchen and love to attack, this Perseus paddle is a nice step up and still at a good discount ($139, versus $200 normally).

Our best budget shoe at an even lower price

$100 $87

The K-Swiss is still my favorite sub-$100 court shoe — grippy, supportive, and built for lateral stops. It performs just as good as the more expensive brands but for a lower price.

That's doubly true right now. During Big Deal Days, I’m seeing select sizes/colors at about $87.

Happy deal hunting! Catch you on the courts,
