Gear up for Prime Day 2024 with the best pickleball deals

With Amazon Prime Day 2024 almost here, Prime members will soon be able to take advantage of the best Prime Day pickleball deals from a range of top brands. This applies even if you're on a free 30-day Prime trial.

This annual event means big savings on some of the best pickleball paddles and gear. Balls, shoes, accessories, and even machines might be included.

Prime Day 2024 will take place on July 16-17. Read on to learn what you can expect, what happened last year, and everything else you need to know.

With deals on paddles and gear from companies like Vatic Pro, Selkirk, and CRBN, you're spoiled for choice this year. Here are some of the best pickleball brands participating in 2024:

Vatic Pro is one of my favorite paddle manufacturers, and their paddles keep making it into my best pickleball paddles lists. They design paddles with the build and performance to rival the most elite brands but they cost a fraction of the price.

This year, Vatic Pro is offering a big 20% off two of their top paddles: the V7 and the Flash. Both are excellent step-up paddles at intermediate-friendly prices.

Selkirk is one of the most respected names in pickleball, making cutting-edge paddles like the LUXX Control Air Invikta in their renowned Selkirk Labs. They also offer beginner pickleball paddles on their SLK line. While these are made for newcomers, they retain many of Selkirk's advanced designs and materials.

For Prime Day 2024, Selkirk has big savings on their SLK line of paddles. This includes $20 off the Latitude 2.0 and the NEO 2.0 bundle, one of my favorite pickleball sets.

Diadem is an innovative brand that makes trendsetting paddles. As well as looking great on the courts, their paddles often have unique performance-enhancing tech. The Diadem Edge 18k has a special "triaxial weave" that generates some of the best spin I've ever seen on a paddle.

This year, Diadem is slashing 20% off their Edge 18k lineup (Standard, Power, Power Pro), as well as their Rush, A52, and Hero paddles.

Paddletek is a leading brand that makes pro paddles for players like Anna Leigh Waters, who plays with the Paddletek Bantam ALW-C. They also make beginner-friendly paddles with high-performance specs like the Bantam TS-5.

This year, you can take a big chunk off a selection of Paddletek paddles. With 25% and 35% discounts on offer, this is a rare chance to get a Paddletek paddle for way less.

CRBN is one of the most respected brands in the game and they product some of my favorite paddles. Besides making the pro-level CRBN Power Series paddles, they also make some great pickleball accessories.

For Prime Day 2024, you can get a discount on the Pro Team backpack (one of the best pickleball backpacks), the CRBN Power Series paddles, the CRBN1 and CRBN2 paddles, and lead tape. The discount is 20% in the US and 15% in Canada.

Prime Day 2024 will run from July 16-17, around the same time as previous years. You'll have the full 48 hours to take advantage of the deals, starting from midnight on Tuesday to the end of Wednesday.

As sometimes happens on Prime Day, you might find some deals on offer in the lead-up. I'll add any great deals I see to this article so check back regularly for updates.

This really depends on whether the deal fits your needs at the time. If you're just shopping for a good deal, you'll find pickleball discounts running all year on Amazon, Pickleball Central, and tons of other brands.

That said, if you happen to be in the market for a new paddle or fresh gear in July, it's worth holding off for Prime Day. You'll likely find some of the best discounts of the year.

Searching for a deal that's right for you can be difficult with so many options. I'll do my part by highlighting the best deals I find. This should help you filter out the ones that aren't such great value.

Sometimes, brands can be misleading with their deals by increasing their prices in the run-up to a sale. They'll then drop them again so it looks like a great discount. I've put together a list of some of the best pickleball paddles, showing their prices as of June 24, so you can decide if the deal is worth it.

I've added all the best deals so far, with big names like Selkirk, Vatic Pro, Diadem, Paddletek, and CRBN.
