Carlos was so helpful with my wife and I selecting shoes and a new paddle. Highly recommend Santa Barbara Pickleball shop for their knowledge and great selection. Nice to support our local business owners to boot.

first of all 10 out of 10 stars for the SB paddle store and for Jerrod Handler. He made this so easy for me and was so incredibly professional. He guided me through the process of purchasing the paddle, providing all the necessary information I needed to make an educated decision.
Regarding the paddle itself: I am learning each time I use it how to control it. I have found it’s great for deadening bangers, and hitting angle shots. I am still working on the return of serve because the paddle has so much pop that I need to use more spin to keep myself from hitting it out. But each time I use it I improve. Have been alternating using this and my Joola paddle but as I become more proficient, This will be my everyday paddle.
I will purchase all my future equipment from this store and from Jerrod in particular!
