Look Better, Play Better: The Story of ARTI Pickleball

When a paddle feels like more than just a tool—when it feels like an extension of who you are—you know a brand has done something right. That’s the core of ARTI Pickleball: combining high-performance play with bold, expressive design.

ARTI was founded on the belief that you should look better and play better. Their mission? To infuse art, color, and individuality into a sport that’s sometimes dominated by minimal, all-black gear. Their motto, “Where Art Meets the Court,” says it all — a paddle should be an extension of who you are, not just what you hit with.Each paddle design has its own personality — from city-inspired graphics to holiday-themed artwork — and behind the bright looks is solid craftsmanship. ARTI’s paddles are made with premium materials, thoughtfully balanced, and comfortable in hand.

Limited-Edition Christmas Paddles

One of our favorite things about ARTI is how they bring seasonal fun to the court. Their limited-edition Christmas paddles are a perfect example — think playful, festive artwork that makes you (and everyone else on court) smile. Whether you’re gifting a pickleball partner or adding a little holiday spirit to your own gear, these paddles make incredible gifts.

They’re the kind of paddle that sparks conversation — and a few laughs — before the first serve.

Our Favorite ARTI Paddles

We’re proud to carry some of ARTI’s standout designs that represent different corners of the country — and different personalities, too:

ARTI New York Paddle – Sleek, bold, and built for players who like an edge to their style. ARTI California Paddle – Laid-back design with coastal vibes and easy control. ARTI Florida Paddle – Bright, energetic, and ready to bring sunshine to every rally. ARTI Texas Paddle – Big graphics and big personality — a statement paddle for players who want to stand out.

Each one combines ARTI’s signature artistic design with reliable performance, creating paddles that feel as good as they look.

Performance / Specs:

  • Many ARTI paddles use a 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core, which provides a mix of pop, control, and vibration dampening.

  • The paddle faces tend to use carbon or carbon-based surfaces to combine touch and strength.

Some models (e.g. Kristen & Kristy series) highlight vibration control and player comfort in their descriptions. (pickleballcentral.com)
