How to Personalize a Pickleball Paddle With Your Name

Diamond Dream pickleball paddle

Quick answer: To personalize a pickleball paddle, pick a design, choose Sport or Pro, type your name in the name box, check the available design preview, then add it to your cart. At Pretty Pickle, a name is a $5 upcharge, and every paddle is made to order.

A paddle with your name on it is the cutest way to tell everyone at the courts exactly whose paddle that is. Here is how it works, step by step.

Step 1: Pick your design

Browse our personalized pickleball paddles and choose the one that matches your personality. Pastel, sparkly, tropical, marble, we have a vibe for everyone.

Step 2: Choose Sport or Pro

Compare the published build specifications and choose by fit and budget: Sport is hardwood and Pro is 18k carbon fiber. Personalized paddles are $59 for Sport and $115 for Pro, which includes the $5 for your name.

Step 3: Type your name

Type your name or nickname into the name box. Check the preview for the lettering style and placement on your selected design.

Step 4: Preview your design

Use the available product-page preview to check how your name looks on the paddle. Take a second to check the spelling. This is the moment to catch a typo, because nobody wants to play with "Jessica" spelled "Jesica".

Step 5: Add to cart

Happy with it? Add it to your cart and check out. Your paddle is made to order just for you, and US shipping is free on orders of $70 or more.

Name ideas

  • Your first name (classic)
  • A nickname your pickleball friends use
  • A short court nickname, like Dink Bestie

Shorter names fit most comfortably. Check the selected listing’s preview before ordering. The preview is a guide, and screen colors may differ from the finished print.

Why personalize?

At open play, paddles pile up fast. A printed name can help you recognize your paddle, and it adds a personal touch to a gift. Check out our pickleball gifts for her ideas.
