Meet Kristen& Kristy.

· QUESTIONS
Kristen & Kristy: questions players ask
What makes these cute pickleball paddles different?
The art. Each design is an original pop-art character drawn by ARTI Pickleball and printed on a raw carbon fiber face, bright enough to spot across the court. Underneath, it is a real 16mm carbon paddle.
How many Kristen & Kristy designs are there?
Five: Good Game, Game On, It's Pickle Time, WOW and Howdy. All five share the same carbon build, so you choose by the art.
Who are Kristen & Kristy?
Two pop-art characters drawn by ARTI Pickleball. They are original ARTI artwork, not real players.
Are Kristen & Kristy paddles tournament legal?
Yes. The line is on the USA Pickleball approved paddle list as Kristen&Kristy, so every design is legal in sanctioned tournaments.
What is the build?
16mm thick, raw carbon fiber face over a honeycomb polymer core, edgeless (no edge guard). 16.34 in long, 7.5 in wide, 7.8 to 8.0 oz. The 16mm core favors control and a soft touch for dinks and resets.
Can doubles partners get different designs?
Yes. Each partner can pick any of the five designs, and the build is the same, so the paddles play alike. The K&K Carbon Doubles Duo lets you pick both in one order: the same design twice or one each.
Is a Kristen & Kristy paddle a good gift?
Yes, for a player who likes playful, colorful art. It is a full carbon, tournament-legal paddle rather than a novelty one.
