PIKKL, a brand committed to transforming the pickleball experience with premium products catering to players of all skill levels, has now officially launched.

The company will have a primary focus on high-performance pickleball paddles, and in celebration of this significant milestone, PIKKL has proudly introduced “Hurricane” Tyra Black as its brand ambassador. 

Crystal Clear

Ms. Black, a distinguished American professional tennis and pickleball player, clinched gold in her inaugural PPA medal at the Takeya Showcase in Fountain Valley, California, besting Anna Leigh Waters, the reigning number one pickleball player in the world.

Co-Founder, Mike Stromman, emphasized, “At PIKKL, the commitment is clear: to offer pickleball players pro-level paddles that inspire excellence on the court.

The raw carbon fiber composition not only maximizes spin but also refines control placement. The Vantage Pro is crafted with Pur-Cell Foam, guaranteeing exceptional durability, enlarging the sweet spot, and absorbing vibrations.

The thermoformed design enhances performance while preserving an evenly distributed weight for exceptional balance and heightened endurance.

Available In Five Colors

Offered in both 14MM and 16MM options and an array of five colors, including black, blue, green, pink, and red, the Vantage Pro is available for purchase at $139.99 through pikkl.com.

Black commented, “Pickleball is not just a sport but a way of life for me, and I know the importance of having the right equipment and team behind you.

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
