Bison Paddles was founded by Daniel and Collin after countless hours of pickleball led them to realize the need for affordable yet reliable paddles. Struggling to find a quality paddle while in college, they created Bison Paddles to offer premium pickleball equipment at a budget-friendly price, ensuring that players of all skill levels can enjoy the game without overspending.

While priced higher than other brands like VaticPro & SixZero, I think Selkirk does more to help grow the sport than most other brands. When purchasing from Selkirk Labs, you're investing in the R&D of paddle technology. If money is of no issue, the 006 is a great paddle.
