How I make money from this site

The short version

• I earn a commission when you buy through my codes or links.
• Using them never adds to the price. Every code except Selkirk's takes money off.
• Brands send me their paddles at no cost.
• No brand pays for a review, a ranking or a score.

My codes

At 27 of the 30 brands I test, STSPICKLEBALL is the code for every paddle. It takes 10% off at most of them, $10 off at 11SIX24 and $20 off at Enhance.

The other three brands work differently.

Honolulu Pickleball Co. uses STS10 for 10% off, or STSPICKLEBALL for $20 off its Kevlar models.

Selkirk uses INF-STSPICKLEBALL. It doesn't change the price. It adds a $20 to $40 Selkirk gift card with any of its paddles, the most Selkirk gives on an order that size.

JOOLA doesn't take discount codes, so its paddles show the list price and I don't earn a commission on them.

I can earn a commission from every other brand I test.

Every brand and its code

My links

Buy buttons on this site go to the brand's own store. They tell the brand you came from me.

I earn a commission on what you buy after clicking one.

The Titan ONE is the ball machine I test every paddle on. I bought it myself.

I earn a commission on Titan ball machines bought through my link.

Free paddles

Brands send me their paddles at no cost.

They don't ask me to review them, and they get no say in what I write. Every paddle gets the same tests on the same gear.

What decides a score

Scores come from my measurements, and every paddle gets the same tests.

Rankings come from those scores and the rules written on each list.

What a brand pays me never goes into a score or a ranking.

Where you'll see this

Every page with a buy button says I earn a commission, near the button. Every review also says how I got the paddle. This page has the details.
