Best pickleball accessories.
The right grip can extend a paddle's life by a year. The right elbow brace can extend yours by a decade. These are the smaller buys that recreational players overlook but our reviewers swear by — durable outdoor balls, overgrips that actually stay tacky, and braces that aren't just compression sleeves. Sorted by review score.

What we look for
Reviewed for recreational players, not pros.
Worth the spend
A $12 overgrip can save a $130 paddle. We only feature accessories that justify their price across a season of recreational play.
Long-haul testing
Outdoor balls in two climates. Braces over a six-week elbow flare. Bags through airport check-in. We don't review on day one.
Senior-fit considerations
Wider grips for arthritic hands, easier-zip bags for stiffer shoulders, brace closures that don't require fine motor work.

Paddles
Lightweight, arm-friendly paddles for recreational players who want to keep playing comfortably for years.
See picksShoes
Court shoes built for lateral movement on hard surfaces — wider toe boxes, cushioning, and outsoles that don't tear up your knees.
See picksNets
Portable and permanent net systems for backyards, driveways, and rec centers — the kind that survive sun, wind, and grandkids.
