Are ARTI paddles USA Pickleball approved?

Yes. Every ARTI paddle — including the $79.99 fiberglass sets — is on the official USA Pickleball approved equipment list and is tournament-legal out of the box.

What's the difference between ARTI's carbon-fiber and fiberglass paddles?

Carbon fiber (T700) gives you more spin and durability. The textured carbon face grips the ball for real spin, and the material lasts longer than fiberglass. ARTI's carbon paddles start at $129.99 (K&K and State series) and go up to $169.99 (Mastery Elite 1.0).

Fiberglass gives you more pop and a softer feel, ideal for beginners and recreational play. ARTI's fiberglass sets are $79.99 for two USAPA-approved paddles — meaning you can start playing doubles right out of the bag without buying a second paddle.

We sell both because no single material wins for every player. If you're competitive and want spin, go carbon. If you're new or buying a gift, go fiberglass.

Which ARTI paddle should a beginner buy?

A fiberglass paddle set ($79.99 for two) is the easiest entry point. It's USAPA-approved, comfortable to learn on, and you can immediately play doubles without buying a second paddle. The Sandstorm, Horizon Duo, and Flowers sets are the most popular starter picks.

When you're ready for more spin and control, move up to a 16mm carbon paddle like the California, Florida, New York, or Texas — same construction as paddles selling for $180–$220 elsewhere.

Does ARTI offer a warranty or trial?

Every ARTI paddle ships with a 30-day risk-free trial and a 180-day warranty against manufacturing defects. If your paddle breaks during normal play within 180 days, we'll replace it.

Where does ARTI ship from? How long does shipping take?

All US orders ship from our Dallas, Texas warehouse. Standard shipping is 3–5 business days. Free shipping on orders over $70.

Is ARTI sold on Amazon?

Yes — our fiberglass paddle sets are available on Amazon US (search "ARTI pickleball"). Our full carbon-fiber lineup and all apparel is only on www.playwitharti.com.

Does ARTI sponsor pros or sell signature paddles?

No. ARTI doesn't pay pros and doesn't sell signature paddles. Our paddles are designed for the players who actually show up at courts every weekend — not the ones on TV. Write your own story.

What's ARTI's return policy?

30-day returns on unused items. If your paddle isn't right for your game within 30 days, we'll take it back. Email hello@playwitharti.com to start a return.
