Question 1

Which pickleball paddle suits an intermediate player?

Accepted Answer

Intermediate players (roughly DUPR 3.0-4.0) typically suit a 16mm core for control or a 14mm for power. Pickld stocks RPM, JOOLA, Six Zero, Friday, Honolulu and Enhance in this band. The paddle finder at pickld.com.au/pages/paddle-finder asks four quick questions and matches you to the right shape, weight and core.

Question 2

What's the difference between a 14mm and 16mm paddle?

Accepted Answer

14mm cores feel poppy and powerful — they suit drives, put-aways, and aggressive baseline play. 16mm cores feel softer and more controlled — better for the kitchen, dinks and resets. Many intermediate players prefer 16mm for the larger sweet spot.

Question 3

Does Pickld ship pickleball paddles across Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pickld ships Australia-wide from Sydney. Estimated delivery: Sydney metro 1-3 business days, NSW regional 2-5 days, interstate metro 2-6 days, interstate regional 4-10 days. Pickld doesn't ship internationally.

Question 4

What's Pickld's return policy on paddles?

Accepted Answer

30-day return window from delivery date. Paddles must be unused, in original condition and packaging. Email support@pickld.com.au with your order number to start a return. Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method.

Question 5

Are Pickld paddles authentic and authorised?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pickld is an authorised Australian dealer for JOOLA, RPM, Six Zero, Friday, Honolulu and Enhance. Every paddle ships with the manufacturer's warranty intact.

Question 6

Can I try a paddle before I buy?

Accepted Answer

Sydney pickup is available at SUNS Pickleball Venue, where some demo paddles are on display during open court hours. Contact support@pickld.com.au to schedule a try-out before purchase.

Question 7

What's the difference between elongated and widebody paddle shapes?

Accepted Answer

Elongated paddles (16.5"+ long) have a longer reach and a narrower face — they suit aggressive baseline players who want extra leverage on drives. Widebody paddles are shorter and wider with a larger sweet spot — they're more forgiving and suit kitchen-line play. Hybrid shapes sit between the two.

Question 8

What grip size should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Most adult players use a 4 1/4" grip. If you have larger hands or prefer a one-handed backhand, try 4 3/8". Smaller hands or two-handed backhand players often suit 4 1/8" or under-wrap with overgrip tape. When in doubt, choose smaller — you can always add overgrip to size up.

Question 9

Does Pickld offer a paddle finder?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Pickld paddle finder at pickld.com.au/pages/paddle-finder asks four quick questions (skill level, playing style, shape preference, budget) and matches you to a shortlist of paddles. It's the fastest way to narrow 30+ paddles to two or three options.

Question 10

What payment options does Pickld accept?

Accepted Answer

Pickld accepts all major cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Shop Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Afterpay. Afterpay lets you split your purchase into four interest-free fortnightly payments — available on most products at checkout.
