Description

The Pickleball Exchange opened in 2021 as Los Angeles’ first retail store devoted entirely to pickleball, and it has grown into one of the city’s most knowledgeable paddle destinations, now operating in Calabasas. Rather than stocking everything, the shop curates brands it has vetted for value and quality, including Selkirk, JOOLA, Paddletek, Engage, Gearbox, ProKennex, Six Zero, and ProXR, alongside bags, shoes, apparel, and a used and clearance section. Its OnCourt Demo Sessions at the Calabasas Pickleball Club let customers test drive paddles in real play with a staff expert instead of tapping balls in a store aisle. A rewards program and online store round out the experience. Enthusiasts call for new release news; the staff usually knows first.

Terrific place to tryout the best Pickleball racquets in Southern California, because they have an inside store court to volley around with their experienced managers. The staff, the selection of racquets and the Encino California location are ideal. Very accommodating team and super knowledgeable about Pickeball.

I made an appointment with Joey, the owner. My daughter and I had his undivided attention while he advised us on the best Pickleball paddles for our particular playing styles. We were able to play on the in-store PB court to try out the demo paddles. Just when I thought I had made up my mind, he brought out a paddle, just new to the market and I fell in love with it right away. It was great to leave the store knowing I had found the PERFECT paddle for me! However, not before Joey helped me find the right PB shoe for my foot. This place is this Pickleball player’s idea of a slice of heaven! Worth the drive, no matter where you are coming from!

New player here. I drove 30 miles to The Pickleball Exchange because they offer what no other business does. They allow you to demo every single paddle that they sell in store. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to buy my first paddle and wasn't forced to make a blind purchase like most who shop on Amazon. I was thinking of buying a Selkirk paddle, but after I tested about 6 paddles, it was actually the one I liked the last. Sign up for their newsletter and you get a 10% off coupon. Thanks again for your help. I am very happy with my paddle choice.

This place is amazing. The owner and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and kind. They don't pressure you to purchase anything and they take their time finding the right paddle based on your level, style of play, and experience. The owner, I believe John, spent close to 40 minutes hitting with me making sure we found the right paddle for me. What a wonderful experience! I will recommend this to everyone!

I went here based on the reviews that you could try out the paddles at their indoor court so I drove 30 minutes to Calabasas only to find out they had moved to Van Nuys six months ago. So then I drove another 30 minutes to Van Nuys to their new location at Wolf + Bear. They didn’t have a lot of selection but the guy at the desk was quite knowledgeable and helpful. There’s no place to try out paddles but it was good to hold them at least.
