About Us – Tsukemono Pickleball
At Tsukemono Pickleball, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality gear—without the premium price tag.
Like many players, I fell in love with pickleball the moment I picked up a paddle. But as I got more serious, I realized something frustrating: the best paddles were priced way out of reach. Competing against players with $200+ equipment while using a cheap beginner paddle? It felt like playing with a disadvantage before the game even started.
That’s why I started Tsukemono Pickleball—a brand built by a beginner, for beginners and everyday players, who want pro-level performance without breaking the bank.
Our mission is simple:
-
Deliver professional-grade pickleball paddles at a price that’s accessible to new, casual, and intermediate players
-
Build a brand rooted in community, quality, and a genuine passion for the game
-
Celebrate the discipline, design, and spirit of Japanese culture, which inspires everything from our branding to our mindset
Whether you play once a week or every single day like I do, you shouldn’t have to settle for second-best. With Tsukemono Pickleball, you don’t have to.
Our Mission
To make professional-quality pickleball equipment affordable and accessible to beginner and intermediate players—empowering anyone to play their best, feel confident, and fall in love with the game.
