A Goldilocks pickleball story...

A Goldilocks pickleball story...

Once upon a time, Will was invited by some friends to play pickleball. He wasn’t sure about playing a sport with such an odd name, but he decided to borrow a friend’s paddle and go in with an open mind. It only took a few fun, competitive games with friends to get him completely hooked. He wanted more but he needed to buy his own paddle.


Will went to Amazon and didn’t know what to do. He saw paddles priced from $14.99 - $250.00. “Does it matter? It’s just a paddle” Will thought, “I don’t want to spend a lot of money, will a cheap paddle suffice?” on the other hand, he realized “I don’t want to get a piece of crap, do I need to drop $250? Ugh, how do I choose?” A common fable… 


Like Will, many players fall into the trap of buying a cheap paddle on Amazon and 1) they don’t enjoy the game because the equipment limits their ability to execute shots or 2) they enjoy the game enough to get hooked but immediately discover that in order to improve, they need to upgrade their paddle. In both scenarios, the result is monetary and environmental waste. 


ENTER: Rich Cat Supply “goldilocks” paddles. They are performant, yet accessible - allowing players to succeed and improve their game over time without breaking the bank (oh, and did we mention they look great?). This results in more positive experiences and less waste. It’s a no-brainer. We got you, Will (and all of your friends who probably are in the same boat).
