The Best Pickleball Accessories You Didn't Know You Needed

Do you ever feel like something is always a little off during your games? Perhaps you just need to upgrade your game with these must-have pickleball accessories you probably never knew existed. Most players know about, and have, the 2 most basic gear in pickleball: paddles and balls. But unbeknownst to many, there are tons of accessories in the market that can help you elevate your game from good to great, for on and off the court.

Bags – The Best Pickleball Bags for Carrying Gear

When you're heading to the court for a game or a tournament, having a bag specifically designed for pickleball can make life a lot easier. While any old bag might do the job, pickleball-specific bags are designed with compartments and features to help you organize and protect your gear. Look out for bags with multiple compartments, water-resistant material, comfortable straps and good ventilation.

Our pick: Holbrook Podium Bag

Adorned with a built-in shoe pocket, cinch laundry bag and an ample amount of storage space, this innovative backpack has been meticulously designed to cater specifically to pickleball players, boasting an array of unique features that enhance your gameplay experience and make carrying your gear a breeze.

Grips – Top-rated Grips and Overgrips for Better Paddle Control

Grips are one of the most important components of your pickleball paddle, and having the right one can make a world of difference in your performance. A good grip enhances comfort, improves control, and reduces the risk of hand fatigue or blisters.

When shopping for grips, you’ll come across two main options: grips and overgrips. Grips are usually the first layer on your paddle, while overgrips are applied on top of the existing grip for extra padding and customization.

Our Pick: Holbrook x UDrippin Overgrips

Featuring sweat-absorbent materials, extra tackiness and a 0.56mm thickness for increased feel, these overgrips provide high quality tack for long-lasting grip in any type of weather—allowing you to maximise your performance and secure that win.

Edge Tape – Protecting Your Paddle and Enhancing Durability

Edge tape is an often-overlooked accessory that can make a big difference in the longevity of your pickleball paddle. It is designed to protect the edges of your paddle from wear and tear, preventing chips, cracks, and other damage that can occur from regular play. It ensures extended durability, improved grip and allows for customisation—allowing for a personalised touch to your paddle!

Our Pick: Standout Pickle Edge Protection Tape (For 14mm and 16mm Paddles)

This premium adhesive tape is designed to protect your paddle from ground scrapes, scratches, and the common issue of wrinkling at the paddle's turning point. Each one can be effortlessly trimmed to your desired length, offering versatility to safeguard the entire perimeter of your paddle or target specific areas.

The 20mm width is ideal for edgeless paddles, 14mm, or 13mm paddles with edge guards. The 24mm width is suitable for 16mm paddles with edge guards.

Our Pick: Holbrook Protective Edge Tape (For Edgeless Paddles)

Engineered with precision and crafted from durable, wear-resistant materials, this edge tape offers superior protection against chips, cracks, and impacts, ensuring your paddle stays in peak condition longer.

Others – Towels, Paddle Erasers and Other Accessories for Comfort

In addition to bags, grips, and edge tape, there are several other accessories that can improve your comfort and performance on the court. Here are a few you might not know you needed:

Towels: Keeping a towel on hand for wiping down your paddle or drying off after a long rally can make all the difference in maintaining focus and comfort. Many pickleball bags come with a built-in towel loop for easy access.

Our Pick: Wowlly Towel

Crafted with premium materials, these towels offer exceptional absorbency, keeping you dry and focused on your game. Elevate your post-play routine with the soft and luxurious feel of our towels, designed for both performance and style.

Paddle Erasers: Over time, your paddle may accumulate scuffs, dirt, and marks that can affect its performance. Paddle erasers are designed to clean and restore the surface of your paddle, keeping it looking new and performing at its best.

Our Pick: Standout Paddle Cleaner

The ultimate solution for maintaining your paddle's face in top-notch condition. Over time, tiny plastic fibres from the ball can affect your spin and appearance, but a few swipes with our cleaner will make residue, dirt, and light scuffs vanish like magic. Compact and convenient, this product easily fits into your pickleball bag, providing quick access for consistent use that prevents excessive fibre build-up.

Home Training Kits: To improve your skills when you're not on the court, consider investing in a home training kit. These kits typically include items like mini nets, balls, and even rebounders to help you practice your shots, footwork, and hand-eye coordination in the comfort of your own home.

Our Pick: The Ultimate Home Training Kit – Picklin' Dink Net + CORE Stealth Balls + Holbrook Paddle Trainer

Designed with a 5 foot width, The Dink Net™ is the perfect size to make your practice sessions portable. This game changing net not only transports your play to unexplored places but also accomplishes it with a feather-light design and hassle-free assembly, requiring less than 60 seconds to set up!

Perfect for practicing indoors, playing at home, or enjoying a game at any time of day, these quiet pickleballs ensure you never have to wait for the courts again!
