Hey Pickleball Fans! If youâve been to a local court lately, you know pickleball is booming - almost 20 million players across the U.S. in 2024 and growing fast in India too! At the center of all this excitement is something super special: the pickleball paddles. Itâs not just a piece of gear; itâs what brings people together, makes the game fun, and keeps our local sports communities alive and kicking. Let me share why pickleball paddles, like the ones we make at Strokess, are the heartbeat of these communities, in a way thatâs easy to understand, like chatting with a friend.
Pickleball Paddles Spark Friendships

Imagine youâre at a pickleball court, and someoneâs swinging a sleek paddle with a cool design. You say, âWhoa, that paddle looks awesome! Whatâs it like?â Next thing you know, youâre chatting, laughing, and maybe even planning a game together. Thatâs the magic of pickleball paddles - they get people talking. Everyone loves their paddle, and at Strokess, we see players sharing stories about how our paddles help them hit better shots or feel more confident.
- Building Bonds: Pickleball is a game for everyone - kids, adults, even grandparents! Your paddle is like your personal style on the court. When you show up with a Strokess paddle, people notice and want to talk about it. âHowâs that T700 Raw Carbon Fiber feel?â they ask. These chats turn strangers into friends, making local pickleball courts feel like a big, happy family.
- Community Fun: At local games or events, paddles are the stars. Players show off their Strokess paddles, with features like our 16mm Control Core for precision or 13mm Power Core for big hits. These events bring everyone together, and our paddles help make them extra special.
Paddles Make the Game Awesome

Pickleball paddles keep the game exciting because theyâre always improving. At Strokess, weâre all about using the latest tech to make paddles that help you play your best, and that gets everyone pumped to hit the pickleball court.
- High-Tech Materials: Our paddles use T700 Raw Carbon Fiber, a super-strong, lightweight material thatâs also used in things like airplanes! It helps you control the ball better, add spin, or hit powerful shots. Players love trying out our paddles and talking about how they make the game more fun.
- Customized for You: Whether you love soft, precise shots or big, powerful smashes, weâve got you covered. Our 16mm Control Core is perfect for careful players, while the 13mm Power Core is great for those who want to swing hard. This variety keeps players excited and chatting about what works best for them.
- Built to Last: Our paddles are tough, thanks to T700 Raw Carbon Fiberâs durability. Plus, they have long handles and big sweet spots, so you can play comfortably for hours. This means more time enjoying the game with your community.
Paddles Help Communities Grow
Pickleball paddles are a big deal for local businesses and communities. The paddle market is growing fast, and at Strokess, weâre proud to be part of that, especially in India, where players in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Haryana, and Gujarat, and especially in Vadodara, are joining the fun.
- Supporting Local Shops: Our paddles are sold online at strokess.com, and we keep prices inexpensive so everyone can play. From budget-friendly options for beginners to pro-level paddles for tournaments, we bring communities together by making great gear accessible.

Paddles for Every Skill Level and Every Player
One of the best things about pickleball is that anyone can play, and Strokess paddles make it super easy to get started.

And if youâre in Vadodara, you can level up your skills with coaching programs right at 3rd Shot by Strokess, home to expert tutors and top-notch training.
Some Paddle Challenges
Paddles are awesome, but they can stir up a few issues, too.
- Loud Pops: When a paddle hits the ball, it makes a loud âpopâ sound that some neighbors donât love. Itâs louder than tennis, and a few places have had complaints. Weâre working on ways to make our paddles quieter while keeping their power.
- Rule Talks: Some players tweak their paddles to hit harder, which can spark debates about fairness. There are rules to keep things even, but players at local pickleball courts still talk about it. These chats keep everyone connected, even if theyâre tricky.
