Making The World's Nicest Pickleball Paddle

Learning how to make a pickleball paddle and I try to make a super fancy one. I make three paddles. The first is a plywood paddle with a curly walnut veneer. The second paddle is sapele hardwood. The third paddle is made with a polypropylene honeycomb core lined with fiberglass and then topped with a mahogany crotch veneer. So nice!

Super high quality video. Can’t believe you only have 510 subs and this video only has 1k views !?

[@djmute0155]

Absolutely stunning paddles but HOW DO THEY PLAY!?
So curious about the differences in play between them. Please, we NEEED a follow up.

[@danawheeler9026]

How did it play compared to other paddles?

[@sivyisvaj8054]

Making the world most illegal paddle… maximum control 100+, power 100+, & spin 100+. 😂

[@sivyisvaj8054]

Glue sand paper 100 grit for maximum spin. 🤔

How do you feel about these paddles in comparison with market products? Thanks

[@davidcaverly9659]

Hmm... A mundane object that could be made into a bougie piece of art, just to have that ultra sexy feel in the hand?? TV remote!

[@jabrams03]

Awesome build! Great job

[@CaliforniaBuiltWoodworking]

I want a boujee pickleball paddle!!

[@joeshotts6043]

Need a pair of these

[@taylorbuntin8184]

These are sick!

[@ryanmitchell6760]

Any links to where you got the honeycomb, edging, etc?

[@andrewshotts]

Just threw the links in the video description. They honeycomb is available on Etsy too but same pricing.

[@hayleyhouse8243]

You need to patent that pickle jig 5000

[@Mike-nq2em]

Did you happen to measure the weights of each paddle? I’m planning on making my own out of some hard wood, but still open to using other materials as well

[@andrewshotts]

So the hardwood one i made was 14 oz and felt a little like a boat oar to swing. The plywood one was even heavier at 14.2. I would suggest a super light wood or if you do plywood, go 1/4" not 1/2". The honeycomb one was 9 oz. I linked to it in the video description.

the legs on my couch are looking bland and mundane. I wonder what those would look like if someone built some custom boujee sofa legs 🤔
