Why I swear by these pickleball shoes
If youāre like me, youāve blown through shoes that just couldnāt keep up with your game. Enter the Tyrol Striker Pro Vāeasily among the best shoes Iāve tried (and Iāve tried a lot).
First off, these arenāt some generic sneakers masquerading as pickleball shoes, the Striker Pro V was built for players by players. The Vibram outsoleās custom tread grips pickleball surfaces like a champ with elite traction and durability that lastsāthese arenāt wearing out after a few intense sessions.
Then thereās comfort. The 3-step breathability system (insole, midsole, outsole) paired with an open-weave mesh upper keeps air flowing, even during marathon matches.
Rolled ankles got you sidelined? These shoes have a wide toe box for stability, a torsion control shank for quick lateral moves, and a heel stabilizer that locks everything into correct alignment.

š„ 'World's hottest pickleball player' turns heads In Miami
Rachel Stuhlmann has a penchant for going viral thanks to her on-court outfits for tennis and pickleball.
This weekend, she attended the annual Miami Open tennis tournament, sharing some photos from the event on Instagram.
A power paddle worthy of Agassiās name?
When JOOLA announced the Agassi Pro, I wondered if they were just slapping a big name on a paddle to sell to tennis convertsā¦
But after testing it, I can sayāthis thing is legit! So legit, Iām rating it 5/5!
Itās fast, powerful, and has great spin. You can grip the ball well and shape your shots.
Itās light and quick in hand battles. I could easily get the ball back when players sped up against me.
The power? Really solid! Third-shot drives and putaways came off clean.
If youāre interested, the 16mm version is the way to goāit keeps the pop but adds a softer touch for better control.
The downsides? Not many. But, if you catch the ball near the top corners, the response drops off. And if youāre not precise with your angles, itās easy to send shots long.
At $279.95, itās a serious investmentābut if you like to hit hard and play fast, the JOOLA Agassi Pro is one of my favorite picks for you right now.

Words from Grayson Goldin (Rank #2 APP Men's Singles):
āThe first thing I do when I get a new pair of shoes is put my VKTRY insoles in. I have used these insoles for the last 6 months and I have noticed a significant difference in my knees and feet.
My knee pain has disappeared and I am much quicker when changing direction and pushing off on the court. I would highly recommend these insoles.ā
