Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a 5-nights a weeker, or an avid tournament goer, having your bag efficiently stocked with the necessary pickleball accessories is a must. You've already purchased your pickleball paddles and now you're looking for the next best thing to improve your game. In this article, the Paddle Experts at JustPaddles cover the five (5) must-have pickleball accessories to keep in your bag and the best options within each category. Before we begin, here's an overview of what to expect:
Pickleballs
Don’t be “that person.” The one that uses everyone else’s pickleballs and never supplies any! We have several options to choose from in different-sized packs so you can do your part in the great battle of “who’s bringing the balls?!”
Dura Pickleballs
Used in the majority of tournaments across the country, Dura balls quickly and concretely cemented themselves as the premium ball in pickleball. If you need an easy go-to, go with the Onix Dura balls. These are available as an add-on with every pickleball paddle. Simply add it to your cart before checkout!
Franklin Pickleballs
Playing very similar to the Dura ball, Franklin pickleballs have become increasingly popular for their solid and consistent bounce, bright visuals, and ability to hold up in cold climates. These are also available as an add-on with every pickleball paddle. Simply add it to your cart before checkout!

Pickleball Backpacks
For those players trying to balance their pickleball paddles, water bottle, pickleballs, an extra shirt, sun screen (you get the point), we’d recommend a pickleball backpack. Many pickleball backpacks are designed specifically for pickleball, and make it a lot easier to shuffle to the courts with your gear. There are many great backpacks to choose from on the market, but here are two that we love:
Gearbox Court Pickleball Backpack
Loved for its utility, versatility, and comfort, the Gearbox Court Backpack is a great option for any player! For those demanding the most out of their bag, this pickleball backpack is the one for you. Room for everything you need and more - take the court with style and show off your style with the multiple color options.
Overgrips
If your hands tend to sweat a lot, or you’re hard on your pickleball paddles, it’s always a great idea to have at least two or three backup overgrips when you or your partner are in need. Overgrips are a thin, easy-to-apply grip that is installed over the existing “replacement” grip. If you need help applying one to your paddle, make sure to read our article on How to Regrip Your Pickleball Paddle. Or, watch Paddle Expert Ben go through the simple six-step process below.
Here are two of our favorite options to keep you securely stuck to your paddle.
Gamma Pickleball Supreme Overgrip
The soft foam ridges of the GAMMA Pickleball Supreme Overgrip add cushion and absorbency for greater feedback and ball return on shots while the tackiness of this grip ensures a firmer hand-to-paddle connection. At 31”, the Pickleball Supreme Grip is ideal for every pickleball paddle and is available in white, black, and assorted neon colors. Each pack contains three overgrips and offers an easy and fun way to add style to your paddle. These are available as an add-on with every pickleball paddle. Simply add it to your cart before checkout!
PBPRO Premium Pickleball Overgrip
PBPRO Premium Pickleball Overgrips are perfectly sized for pickleball paddles. They provide extreme comfort for any player, and the extra tack helps keep your paddle in your hand…even on hot sweaty days. These are available as an add-on with every pickleball paddle. Simply add it to your cart before checkout!
Pickleball Paddle Covers
We've got you covered! Protect your paddle and keep your investment safe with a paddle cover. The JustPaddles Paddle Cover offers players a lightweight option that can safely store their favorite paddle. It also provides extra pockets for storing your on and off-court pickleball accessories along with a durable zipper. These are available as an add-on with every pickleball paddle. So, pick one up with your next purchase and add it to your cart before checkout.
Pickleball Lead Tape
Great for weighting your paddle to exactly your preferred specifications. These can be added to your paddle head or handle and players like to use these to add more pop and to increase the speeds of their volleys. We offer lead teap as an add-on with select paddles.
