GRAFTON Pickleball Paddles: Built for the Modern Game
Share
Pickleball has exploded in popularity over recent years, capturing the hearts of players across the globe with its fast-paced, social, and accessible nature. And as the sport grows, so does the demand for gear that keeps up with its energy, precision, and community spirit. Enter GRAFTON — a new name in pickleball, but one already making waves.
More Than a Paddle: The Story Behind GRAFTON Pickleball
Founded in 2022, GRAFTON is a family-led brand born out of the desire to do more than just play. It all began as a personal journey. During a time when the world was emerging from isolation, founder Wendy discovered pickleball as a way to reconnect — with the outdoors, with people, and with herself. Soon after, she introduced the game to her son, and together they developed a deep bond through shared games and early mornings on the court.
But the more they played, the more they realised something was missing. Despite pickleball’s dynamic nature, most paddles on the market lacked quality, performance, and personality. What should have been tools of precision and power often felt generic and uninspired.
This sparked a mission: to create paddles that matched the passion and pace of the sport. That meant studying materials, dismantling paddles, talking to players, and refining every detail to perfection. GRAFTON was built with one clear aim — to produce paddles that elevate performance without compromising on design or feel.
Design-Led Performance
Every GRAFTON paddle is the result of meticulous R&D, real player feedback, and an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship. The brand tested hundreds of prototypes before settling on its flagship models — each one carefully tuned to meet the needs of different playing styles.
Whether you're attacking at the net or controlling play from the back of the court, there's a GRAFTON paddle designed to support your game:
-
Terra 1.0 – The ultimate all-rounder. Designed for control, stability, and spin. With the widest face in the GRAFTON line-up, it offers an expansive sweet spot ideal for players who value precision.
-
Aqua 1.0 – Inspired by the flow of water, Aqua is perfect for those who blend power and grace. The 14mm core generates impressive force, while the elongated handle supports dynamic, two-handed play.
-
Blaze 1.0 – Built for the bold. This aggressive, attack-minded paddle features a fast aerodynamic shape and 16mm core for ultimate spin, speed, and responsiveness.
Each model is crafted with RAW T700 carbon fibre surfaces, carbon-reinforced handles, and GRAFTON's custom cushioned grip — combining pro-level performance with lasting comfort and durability.
A Brand Fuelled by Community
GRAFTON isn’t just a paddle company — it’s a player-first movement. From the very beginning, the brand has prioritised feedback from the court. Every design decision, material choice, and product refinement stems from what players actually want and need.
