Top 3 Most Popular Pickleball Paddles (November 13th, 2025)

With 328 ratings from 60 active players, the MyPickleList community has spoken. These three paddles have captured the most attention and have the most ratings, which hypothetically makes them the most accurate ratings we have. Do you agree with them?

Let's dive into what these paddles are and whether we think they warrant the attention they've received.

#3: Selkirk Boomstik Elongated 16mm

Community Rating: 7.92/10 | 12 Player Ratings | $333.00

The Selkirk Boomstik Elongated has been super popular since it came out. Its combination of pop and power made it way different from Selkirk's typical lineup, especially with the technology. It features a Gen 4 construction which is a full foam core, which hypothetically has more durability than other paddles. The price point is steep at $333, but that seemingly didn't stop anyone from getting it and it is constantly sold out online on Selkirk's website and at my local shop, Premier Racquet Sports.

I did have a play session with this paddle, and can confirm the pop and power is near the top of the current paddle market. It was a bit too poppy in my opinion in terms of control, especially for resets and out-of-the-air dinks. For that reason, I gave this paddle a 7/10 on MyPickleList, but I can definitely see why this paddle is so popular, given how many people historically like to play with the most powerful legal paddle out there.

#2: 11six24 Hurache-X Alpha Pro Power 16mm

Community Rating: 8.33/10 | 12 Player Ratings | $199.99

11Six24 has been one of the most popular brands in my area for a while. It could be because there are two pros here that are sponsored by them, the cheaper price point, or a mix of both.

I did not especially like the original power series when it first came out. I don't like poppy paddles with less dwell time, which is what I felt the power series was the brief times I played with them.

The Alpha Pro Power, however, supposedly has the same dwell time but more power. I did not feel this dwell time or at least a significant difference with the Pegasus APP, but I did play with the Hurache for a game and it pleasantly surprised me given I was playing with the paddle stock.

I don't have much play time with this paddle myself, but can confirm it is a really popular option given the price point compared to other power paddles, especially when it first came out.

Now the landscape has shifted as Ronbus and Vatic Pro came out with top-tier paddles in terms of amount of power for significantly less (about $100 with discount codes). I am surprised I have not seen those paddles around. I think, and the shop confirmed, there has been less paddle buying in general, which may be the cause, but I am definitely curious how this list will look in a few months.

#1: Joola Perseus Pro IV 14mm

Community Rating: 8.38/10 | 13 Player Ratings | $279.95

No surprise here, at least for me, on the most popular paddle out right now. The Pro IV's are everywhere no matter what court you go to, from advanced players to beginners. I am, however, a bit surprised the 14mm is more popular, but to be fair, MyPickleList is still young. I never played with the Perseus for an extended period of time, but from my brief time with it, it's definitely a good mix of top-tier power yet controllable. Also no surprise the Perseus is the most popular given that most players prefer elongated paddles, despite my sentiment that widebody and hybrids are superior in doubles.

I expect to see this paddle (or the 16mm) for the foreseeable future given how many I see on the court. Surprisingly, I have not seen anyone I know buy the new Joola 3s dual certified. I thought it would be way more popular, especially when people still liked the 3s over the 4 when the 4 first came out.
