Every so often a paddle or a ball stops making sense for us to carry. A model gets superseded, a colourway runs out, or we bought two and sold one. Rather than sit on it, we move it on. What is on this page is what is left of each line, and when it is gone the page sits empty until the next time.

What is actually here
Run-out stock from lines we are finishing with: superseded paddle models, the last of a colourway, and now and then a ball or accessory line we have stopped carrying. What is here changes as it sells, so treat the grid on this page as the list rather than this paragraph.
These are not seconds and they are not returns. They are unused, factory-fresh stock with the manufacturer's warranty intact, from a model or a run that is no longer the newest one. That distinction matters, because "clearance" in this category often means damaged or ex-demo stock, and this is neither.
Why a superseded pro paddle is often the sensible buy
Paddle generations move faster than paddle performance does. The gap between one generation and the next is real, but it is usually incremental: construction refinements and surface changes rather than a different category of paddle. What does not change is the thing that makes a well-built paddle worth owning, which is a frame that holds its stiffness, enough twist weight that off-centre contact still lands, and a face with genuine bite.
For an intermediate player stepping up to their first properly built paddle, a previous-generation tour paddle is frequently a better use of money than a current-generation mid-tier one. You get the construction, and you give up being on the newest model, which affects nothing on court. Whether the step up is worth it at all is its own question, and our mid-tier vs pro-tier paddle guide answers it.
The caveat, stated honestly: superseded lines come in the shapes and thicknesses that are left, not the ones you would have picked. If you need a specific shape or core thickness, check the professional range instead, which lists current models in every shape and core we carry.
How to choose from what is left
Choose the way you would choose any paddle, then let the grid tell you what is here today.
- Shape first. Elongated adds reach and put-away power, widebody is the most forgiving, and hybrid sits between the two. If you already play a shape you like, stay with it.
- 16mm if you want the reset to stay available, 14mm if you already finish points well and want the ball leaving faster. The 14mm vs 16mm paddle guide goes deeper.
- Check the options. A line here is often down to one shape, core or colourway, so look at what the product still offers.
- For balls, start with indoor or outdoor, then match what your club plays. The indoor vs outdoor pickleball guide explains the difference.
Shapes and cores carry across generations, so a guide written for the current model usually applies to the one it replaced.
How we price
We hold recommended retail pricing on carried brands rather than running rotating promotions, so this page exists precisely because it is the exception: stock we are genuinely finishing with, not a rolling promotion dressed up as one. Codes and any current reductions are shown on the products themselves, and the current ones are listed on our discount codes page.
Buying from this page
Everything here ships from Sydney in one to three days with the manufacturer's warranty intact and assessed through us, free Australian delivery over $150 on everything except bulky items, and local pickup available in Hornsby. Factory-fresh paddles can be returned within 30 days. Stock is genuinely limited to what is shown, and we do not restock these lines.
Common questions
Are clearance paddles used or damaged?
No. They are factory-fresh, unused stock from lines we have stopped carrying or generations that have been superseded. If we ever sell an ex-demo paddle, it gets its own listing and says so.
Is the warranty still valid?
Yes. The manufacturer's warranty is intact and we assess claims from Sydney as an authorised reseller, exactly as we would on a current-generation paddle.
Will these lines come back?
No. When a line is finished here, it is finished. The current-generation equivalents live in the professional and intermediate collections.
