Pickleball was born in 1965, in Washington State, USA.
Three dads improvised a game to entertain their kids using homemade paddles and a net.
That simple idea quickly grew into one of America's fastest-growing sports.
The first paddles were made of wood—heavy and basic.
As the sport evolved, materials improved: from composite plastics to carbon fiber and Kevlar.
Today’s paddles are high-tech tools built for serious performance.
