Pickleball is no longer just a backyard hobby — it’s quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide. Combining the best of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, it’s easy to learn, fun to play, and suitable for all ages. Over the past few years, Indian sports enthusiasts have picked up their pickleball paddles with passion, joining clubs, local tournaments, and even international championships.
For players in India, Strokess has quickly become the go-to choice for high-performance pickleball paddles. Combining advanced T700 Raw Carbon technology with smart design, Strokess paddles give players excellent control, spin, and power. From Mumbai and Delhi to Haryana, Telangana, and Gujarat, players rely on Strokess for consistent performance whether playing casually with friends or competing in tournaments.
In the US, pickleball has already become a phenomenon. According to recent sports participation studies, millions of Americans now play regularly, and major brands sponsor national events. The game’s simplicity and low injury risk have made it especially popular among youth, working professionals, and retirees alike.
India is catching up fast. Cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Pune are seeing new pickleball courts and academies pop up every month. Schools, corporate clubs, and sports complexes are investing in infrastructure, while Indian players are beginning to make their mark at international tournaments.
This rise in participation has also created a huge demand for high-quality pickleball paddles — and that’s where top brands come in. A good paddle can make the difference between struggling with control and hitting crisp, powerful shots consistently.
Let’s break down the five brands that are making the biggest impact on the Indian pickleball scene in 2025. These brands are trusted by beginners, club players, and professionals alike.
Strokess is proud to be India’s leading homegrown brand for high-performance pickleball paddles and gear. Built with advanced T700 Raw Carbon technology, Strokess paddles are designed to give players a perfect balance of control, spin, and power.
Each paddle is crafted for performance — featuring a 16 mm Control Core for pinpoint accuracy and a 13 mm Power Core for powerful shots. Trusted by players across Mumbai, Delhi, Haryana, Telangana, Gujarat, and beyond, Strokess paddles are known for their durability, innovation, and player-focused design.
Whether beginners or top-level competitors, players rely on Strokess for the quality needed to perform at their best. Strokess paddles are available across India — and players in Vadodara can visit the flagship store for a hands-on experience.
Selkirk is a globally recognized pickleball name and is used by a few Indian professionals, though its presence here is still limited. The Vanguard Power Air series is known for its power-heavy design, which appeals to advanced players.
However, these paddles are relatively expensive in India, and support/service availability is still developing — which makes them less accessible for most Indian players.
JOOLA has a long history in racquet sports, and the Perseus is one of its top models. It offers a stable, control-focused build and is used by some elite global players.
In India though, JOOLA paddles are still rare, mainly seen in higher-end tournaments, and not widely available for everyday players yet.
The Tempest Wave Pro is appreciated internationally for its balanced design and precise shot control. It suits strategic, placement-based players.
Franklin is a familiar global sports brand, and its Signature Carbon STK paddle is starting to appear in Indian markets. It delivers solid spin and power but is still early in adoption.
India’s pickleball scene is growing faster than ever — and the need for reliable, performance-focused pickleball paddles is only increasing. While several international brands are available, they’re still limited in reach, expensive, and not tailored to Indian players.
Strokess stands apart as the only Indian brand built from the ground up for India’s players — combining world-class technology with local expertise.
As more players upgrade their gear, Strokess is quickly becoming the face of Indian pickleball — and the top choice for those serious about their game.
