Obsessed with the sport, Garrett and his doubles partner designed their own paddles, which quickly gained popularity for their control, power, and sleek design. Realizing the potential, Garrett partnered with a childhood friend to start CRBN Pickleball, a company dedicated to creating high-performance paddles, driven by a love for the sport and a commitment to innovation.
