It's a very important part of a pro pickleball player's journey. Hell, it's an important part of any pickleball player's journey.

Choosing a pickleball paddle that's right for you.

For us amateurs, it usually comes down to just a few things:

What feels good in our hands
How confident it helps us feel on the court
How much damage it does to our wallet

However, pro players have an entirely different set of criteria they have to consider.

Sure, it matters how it plays and the confidence it gives, but they must also consider the image it portrays when choosing one paddle over another.

While most seem to follow the money or the biggest brand name in the game, Jill Braverman – a top female pro player – decided to take a different path.

One where the paddle not only felt great in her hand, but also on her conscience.

One paddle emerges victorious
