How to create a custom pickleball paddle

A custom photo paddle starts with your image, becomes artwork in the studio, and is shown as a paddle preview before you approve it. You can also start with a ready-made design if you do not want to upload a photo.

1. Choose a clear photo

Use a well-lit image with the subject clearly visible. Photos of you, your doubles partner or your pet work with the studio’s subject options. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC/HEIF, up to 10 MB. Only upload images you have permission to use, and get permission from people pictured.

2. Pick your art style

Explore Anime, Comic Book, Neon Glow, Oil Painting, Pixel Art, Pencil Sketch, Sport Poster and Watercolor. Check the generated image carefully: AI can change facial details, text or other features. Choose the artwork you want before moving to the paddle preview.

3. Choose the paddle material

Fiberglass is the lower-priced option and weighs 227 g. Carbon fiber weighs 223 g. Both share the confirmed 16 mm thickness, honeycomb core, TPU edge guard and approximately 14 cm grip length. We have not measured comparative spin, power or durability. Compare materials and paddle specifications.

4. Review your package and finish

Choose one paddle or a matching pair, then choose the edge guard, handle collar and grip colors. A matching pair uses the same material, artwork and finish colors on both paddles. For different designs, create separate orders.

5. Approve before paying

Check the final artwork, personalization, material, quantity and colors. Approval locks the design for that purchase. The checkout displays applicable tax, shipping and any valid promotion discount before you pay. Read the customized-order policy before ordering.

What does the preview show?

The paddle mockup shows artwork placement, not a photograph of the finished paddle. On-screen colors can vary from the printed result. Later image-generation attempts create new designs and do not change artwork already approved for an order.
