Bird Pickleball is a paddle brand from Grip6, the Utah manufacturer known for belts and wallets, built and sold from its Midvale headquarters. The paddles pair a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core with layers of carbon fiber and a peel-ply textured face, in two designs: the Classic and the Ergo, a bent-handle shape intended to reduce elbow and wrist strain by putting the bend in the paddle instead of the wrist. Later models carry bird names like Falcon and Kestrel. The company also opened The Bird House at the same Midvale location, a six-court indoor pickleball facility built in surplus warehouse space, with paying court time for local players. Paddles sell direct at birdpickleball.com, and the Bird House gives Salt Lake Valley players a place to try the brand where it’s made.
