Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: October 2026
Paddle Pick HQ earns commissions on qualifying purchases made through some of the links on this site.
Here's what that means in plain English:
- We may earn a commission if you click a product link and buy something — typically a percentage of the sale paid by the retailer or brand (for example, our partner programs include Selkirk, CRBN, Pickleball Central, and ONIX).
- It costs you nothing extra. You pay the same price whether you buy through our link or go directly to the store.
- It does not affect our recommendations. We choose which paddles to cover based on research — specs, expert reviews, and player feedback — not on commission rates. If a paddle isn't a good fit for its category, we say so, even if it pays a higher commission.
- We don't accept payment for placement. No brand can pay to be ranked higher or featured in our roundups.
This disclosure follows the FTC's endorsement guidelines: we have a financial relationship with some of the brands and retailers we write about, and we want you to know that before you read our recommendations.
Thanks for supporting the site when you shop through our links — it's what keeps Paddle Pick HQ free for everyone.
