The best deals in pickleball right now

These paddles could easily be twice the price or more

June 26, 2026

 

There are a few deals in pickleball right now that seem too good to be true, so we’ve rounded them up all in one place.

From seasonal sales to paddles priced so low it’s hard to believe, this list will help you find your next paddle without breaking the bank.

In most cases, using code “KITCHEN” at checkout will get you even more of a discount — and using our code also helps us continue to produce this type of content.

JOOLA Pickleball is celebrating the brand’s annual “JOOLA Week” sale right now, with huge discounts on the popular Pro IV Series paddles, apparel, bags and more — now through Monday, June 29.

All Pro IV paddles with the exception of the Perseus are marked down to $179.95. It’s the first time the Pro IV Series paddles are on sale for less than $200. JOOLA also has the Pro IV tropical colorways available in the U.S. for the first time, and those limited-edition models will also be marked down to $179.95. While the Pro IV Series was released in 2025, our reviewers still consider it to be a Top 10 paddle on the market in terms of performance.

The Proton Peacock, which was released late last year, was already a good pickleball paddle ... the problem was the price. At $280, it was tough for a lot of players to justify. But now Proton has completely restructured pricing and suddenly this paddle has a very different value proposition.

Every Proton paddle is AT LEAST $100 OFF RIGHT NOW + an ADDITIONAL 15% OFF with code “KITCHEN.”

We think the Friday Aura Pro is a Top 5 paddle on the market right now, but it’s not priced like one. It’s just $159 after using code “KITCHEN” — which makes it one of the best value propositions in the game.

The full-foam core in the Aura Pro delivers great pop in hands battles and big power on full swings like drives and overheads. It features a rubber ring around the core that gives the paddle a slightly more plush/less harsh feel than a lot of other full-foam paddles, which helped us get a good feel for the ball on shots that require more touch. In that sense it is an upgrade from a lot of the foam options we saw in 2025.

The Enhance Turbo line focuses on one thing: Maximum performance at an accessible price.

“Instead of chasing experimental manufacturing processes, we optimized construction to create a paddle that competes with premium models without the premium cost,” according to Enhance.

The MPP Turbo uses a full floating foam core with an MPP foam center and an EVA foam ring around the perimeter. MPP is a softer foam, which creates a more springy and smooth feel than the EPP Turbo models and many other full-foam paddles on the market. The MPP/EVA construction is very similar to the Luzz Pro 4 Inferno, which is more than twice the price.

The all-new Luzz Glider comes in a hybrid shape that has a very low swingweight, making it extremely maneuverable in hands battles at the kitchen line. It's competitive in terms of performance with several paddles that are twice the price or more.
