I'm so excited about the upcoming pickleball deals for Black Friday 2024. This is my favorite time to grab some new paddles, gear, accessories, and pickleball clothes because the savings are amazing.
In case you're unsure where to look, I've put together my favorite Black Friday pickleball deals. After working with many of the top brands in pickleball, here are the deals I would personally choose, from paddles and court shoes to pickleball machines. Read on to see which deals appeal to you.
Pickleball gear I would buy this Black Friday
Let's dive into what I would personally choose this Black Friday. Each product is one I've personally tested and would highly recommend.
Even after testing over 150 paddles, 2023's Bread & Butter Filth is still one of my all-time favorite pickleball paddles. Max Ade (fellow Pickleheads co-founder) still plays with it daily. It has massive power and spin for a Gen 2 paddle. Plus, the 8/10 control and forgiveness make it a great all-court option.
I honestly can't believe you can get the Filth for $123, especially when it plays better than some $250+ JOOLA paddles. If you're looking for an all-court paddle this Black Friday, this deal is really worth considering.
The Engage Pursuit Pro1 6.0 is the most advanced paddle I've ever tested and by far one of the best paddle launches of 2024. It has huge power and a great all-round performance, so it quickly became one of my go-to paddles—especially for tournaments.
The Pro1 is usually priced at $260. I spoke with the Engage CEO and they're not offering many discounts these days (the Pro1 almost never goes on sale). This is a rare opportunity to get 20% off, saving you over $50.
The Six Zero DBD Control beat some serious competition for the best paddle in 2024, holding onto its place from last year. I still haven't found a better mix of power, control, and spin that's accessible to intermediate players and beginners alike.
The DBD was already a steal at $180 given how it outperforms many $250-300 paddles. I never see Six Zero give out discount codes over 10%, so 20% off ($180 $144) is a seriously good deal.
It's not just paddles, folks! This year I tested a lot more court shoes and learned how important good footwear is for your game. After testing 20 pairs from other brands, the Diadem Court Bursts are easily my favorite pickleball shoes. They amp up my game with their high levels of comfort, support, and speed.
A 30% saving is much higher than the usual 10-20% offered by brands like Diadem during the year. To get this big of a deal on the most premium pickleball shoe is a no-brainer. After put 100s of hours of court time on my pair and I need a replacement, so this is perfect timing!

The fall/winter months are when I find myself training and working on my game so that I'm playing my best by the time spring comes around. The Erne is my go-to drilling partner and I love it. It's hands-down the best machine—it's software-powered, has drills that simulate real gameplay, and has a large ball hopper.
For Black Friday, you're getting $100 off a pricey machine. The first 50 buyers also get a free Sweet Stick Training Paddle (worth $119). These paddles are a great way to help you learn to hit the sweet spot.

Bottom line
Black Friday is the best time of year to buy pickleball gear. Many brands hold off on offering their best deals until the Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend, so you can find almost every brand offering good savings.
My favorite deals this year include a huge 25% saving on the Bread & Butter Filth, as well as deals on top paddles from Engage and Six Zero. Outside of pickleball paddles, I'm going for the Diadem Court Burst shoes and the Erne—my favorite ever training machine.
Whether you're after a new paddle or pair of shoes, I'm confident you'll find a deal that suits you so you can start improving your game and feel your best on the court.
