🔥The best early Black Friday pickleball deals

Hey reader 👋,

Black Friday is a few days away, but that hasn’t stopped a lot of brands from launching their sales early!

There are some HUGE deals on pickleball gear to be had 💰

Oh yeah, since just about everything is on sale right now… I’m also sharing a few of my favorite deals from our partners outside of pickleball gear.

Keep scrolling to catch all the deals. Ready…set…GO! 🤑

• 🤩 CRBN – 20% off site wide

• 😍 Bread and Butter – up to 25% off site wide (starts on Black Friday)

• 😱 Pickleball Central – 30% off selected products

• 🥳 Rainy Day Pickleball – $10 off

• ☺️ Recess – up to 40% off

• 😲 Diadem – 30% off their entire catalog

🤩 CRBN – 20% off site wide

• All CRBN X Series Paddles – $229 $183.20 (The 3X is my fav 🔥)

• CRBN Drift Pickleball Glasses – $95 $76

• The Pro Team Backpack – $109.99 $87.99

• Accessories

I’ve tested over 150 paddles to date and the CRBN X Series is easily in my Top 5 for the best paddles of all time (my favorite is the Hybrid 3X).

You just won’t find a combo of power, control and spin in almost any paddle out there. Many paddles claim this but CRBN is one of the few that delivers.

CRBN is known for paddles, but their bags are the best on the market IMO. The Pro Team Backpack is my #1 pick and the one I take daily to the courts.

I’m stoked they launched an eyewear line too, I woke up to this issue after getting hit in the eye at a game earlier this year.

They've got all the pickleball accessories you need too–paddle erasers, grips, weights, water bottles, etc. Perfect as gifts or stocking stuffers!

Because their stuff is so good, they almost never go on sale. If you’ve been eyeing CRBN gear, this is a great opportunity.

😍 Bread and Butter – up to 25% off site wide

📣 THIS SALE DOESN’T START UNTIL BLACK FRIDAY

• 🔥The Filth - $165.00 $123.75 (my fav power paddle)

• The Shogun - $189.00 $142.49

• The Fatboy - $189.00 $142.49 

• The Drip - $95.00 $47.50

The Filth is still one of the best paddles of all time, with big power, it’s an all-court performer.

I was stoked to see this deal! It’s by far the cheapest I’ve ever seen it…under $125.

I’ve sent our CEO Max over 30 paddles, and there’s only one he’ll play with…the BnB Filth. It really is one of the best paddles ever made.

Don’t sleep on the Shogun or the Fatboy either. Both launched in 2024.

The Fatboy is a faster paddle with a wide body and a bigger sweet spot.

The Shogun is essentially a titanium version of the filth. A touch less power, better control and buttery smooth. I love it.

Remember this deal doesn’t go live until Friday. Save some budget and I’ll remind you on Friday when the deal kicks off 🙌

😱 Pickleball Central – 30% off selected products

• JOOLA - 20% off select paddles (11/24-12/7)

• Vulcan - Up to 20% off select products (11/24-12/08)

• Holbrook - 30% off select products (11/21-12/2)

• Titan - $200 off the Titan Ace and Titan One (11/23-12/2)

• Engage - Up to 30% off select paddles (11/18-12/3)

Pickleball Central is the first place I send people for all things pickleball. There’s just no other retailer that can match their selection of pickleball products.

I’ve ordered 10+ times from them, and it’s always smooth - easy checkout and quick shipping.

I’d say Pickleball Central is a must-visit for Black Friday. You can find so many deals at once.

Oh yeah, they offer free delivery on orders over $49, you earn loyalty points on every dollar you spend, plus 2-day shipping on most paddles.

I’ve highlighted a handful of the top deals starting on early Black Friday, but keep an eye out for our other emails and more deals from Pickleball Central.

🥳 Rainy Day Pickleball – $10 off

I think I just found the perfect gift for any hardcore pickleball player!

Rainy Day Pickleball is a board and card game designed to emulate 3.0-3.5 pickleball.

I played it with my family last holiday and it was a whole lotta fun. Even for my mom who isn’t actually into pickleball.

It’s ideal for 4 players, but there are 2, 3 and 5 player variations too.

Now we’re moving into colder weather and not everyone lives near indoor courts, maybe y’all can get your pickleball fix with Rainy Day Pickleball…

…at least until the warmer weather returns.

Usually, Rainy Day Pickleball is $59, but today you can get your hands on the game for $49.

☺️ Recess – up to 40% off

Want a paddle that looks as good as it plays? Recess is always my recommendation for style points.

My wife loves their fun designs and I like their new midnight black paddle, it’s a real performance carbon paddle.

I don’t often see them putting on deals either, so to see up to 40% off for Early Black Friday is a big surprise.

They’re currently offering 15% off on orders up to $150 and 20% off plus free shipping for orders over $150. Insider tip - you can also save up to 40% on sets.

If you’re looking for a pickleball gift or want to surprise your partner with a great-looking set, give this deal a look 👇

😲 Diadem – 30% off their entire catalog

Diadem makes great paddles, fact. I’ve even called their Edge 18K the best spin paddle out there.

But let’s look beyond paddles…these guys have the #1 pickleball shoe ever made!

Seriously, I never thought much about shoes. But their Court Burst shoes are by far the most comfortable ones I’ve ever used. I’m personally buying another pair today, they are that good.

I don’t see Diadem products on sale often, let alone a huge 30% off site-wide deal. This is one of the biggest deals I found all season 👇

Get more energy on the court

Excited to share a new company I’ve come across in the pickleball world 5 Point Zero and their new product PERFORM.

• 💧 Hydration – more electrolytes than the leading sports drink
