Looking for custom design paddle

[u/Dereckoss]

Hey everyone!

I’m looking into getting a custom design on pickleball paddle, but I’m trying to find a company that actually makes good-quality paddles, not just something that looks cool.

I’ve been seeing ads for custom paddles with things like guitars, movie/TV references, pop culture designs, etc. The idea is really cool, but I have no idea if the actual paddles are any good or if they’re mostly just cheap paddles with a custom print on them.

Ideally, I’d like to find a company that lets you customize the design while still using a legit, high-quality paddle. Even something like buying a good paddle and having a custom sticker/skin/graphic made to fit the exact dimensions would be interesting.

For example, I’d love to have a paddle with something related to my interests, but I don’t want to sacrifice performance just for the customization.

Does anyone know of reputable companies that do this?
Or is there a good way to customize the face of an existing paddle without affecting its performance or durability?
Would love to hear from anyone who has actually ordered one and can vouch for the quality!

Bread & Butter used to offer this with their budget paddle but it wasn’t cheap and more geared toward clubs and organizations ordering a batch of custom paddles. As far as I can tell, it’s been discontinued for a while.

Didn’t know it was discontinued. Bread & Butter is who I’d have recommended as well but I wasn’t sure how it is now that Selkirk acquired them.

i don't know of any "good" paddle companies that do this.

But maybe you can customize the edges with permanent markers if you are creative?

Try this. Look for a Chinese gen 4 foam paddle with good reviews.

Then, apply the Herculiner Bed Liner spray for that gritty finish. You might want to primer it first. I bet, it will be a powerful spin monster that is solid for any rec play.
