Best Paddles in 2024

These paddles favor control over power. They're also in the lower price range. Unless you know you'll be hooked right away, why not start with a paddle under $100.

If you're ready for something with a higher quality build, these are for you. Most of these won't break the bank and will last a good while. Carbon Fiber paddles in the $100 range dominate this space.

If you play several times a week, are a 4.0 and above, don't mind spending $$$ on paddles, you may enjoy some of these. You don't have to spend this kind of money to get a premium paddle. Paddles at this price point allow companies like Joola, Selkirk, etc. to grow the game.

These are the current paddles we consider on top of the game for a variety of reasons. Could be overall top peformance, best bang for your buck, etc.

Honestly all still incredible paddles. Not everything can make the S Tier. You can't go wrong with a paddle here as well.

A lot of good paddles still. Some exist here because the market has shifted a lot in the last 6 months. What was A Tier a few months ago, might not be anymore.

Our C Tier paddles. We just think for your money there's a couple better ones on the market.

A subjective list. Some paddles had to make D tier. Again, for your money, we'd recommend elsewhere.
