We've just heard some big news from the Bread & Butter team that we had to share with our readers. Starting today, July 28, the Bread & Butter Loco is going on sale with a massive 25% off.

The Loco's pricing was already pretty enticing. At $199, it offered huge savings over the $280 to $300 paddles from Selkirk, JOOLA, and Gearbox that it competes with. Our exclusive 10% discount code with Bread & Butter took the price down to $179.10.

Well, guess what? That discount code still works once the 25% deal comes into play. You can stack our code to take a further 10% off, making your final price a mere $134.33. I never thought I'd see this paddle at such a low price.

Don't worry: there's no catch. This is the same reliable Bread & Butter paddle we still rave about today. Instead, this deal is actually tied to another big announcement – they are preparing to launch the Loco 2 later this year.

While there will be some upgrades with the new model, newer doesn't automatically mean better for every player. If you don't want to wait and you're looking for a great paddle now, I highly recommend jumping on this deal right away, especially because once they're gone, they're gone.

In my original Bread & Butter Loco review, I called it 2025's clear paddle of the year, and I stand by that. This is an elite foam paddle with incredible T-700 raw carbon fiber grit that produces the best spin. The fiberglass layer makes it super powerful and it has one of the best balances of pop and control I've seen.

Even now, in late July 2026, with so many paddles released since the Loco, it still sits high up in our guide to the best pickleball paddles. I chose it as the best paddle for intermediates but it's an awesome paddle for advanced players also. I made this my main paddle from the moment I got my hands on it because it was the one paddle that finally got me from 4.5 to 5.0 level. I was taking on elite players and they were shocked that I wasn't using my JOOLA.

Bread & Butter has tons of Locos in stock, ready to go for this announcement, so you can rest assured it'll arrive soon. No waiting around this time. That said, I expect these will fly off the shelves quickly.

Under $135 is an insane value for this level of performance. If you're ready to advance your game, or you simply want one of the best-value pickleball paddles ever offered to the masses, grab this deal while it lasts. You will not regret it.
