Best Gear for Indoor Pickleball: What You Need to Play Like a Pro

Indoor pickleball is fast, fun, and fiercely competitive—especially when you’re equipped with the right gear. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to level up, here’s the short list of what you need to play like a pro:

1. Paddle Power

Choose a lightweight, graphite or carbon fiber paddle for quick reflexes and controlled shots. JOOLA is perfect for this! Ask Hot Shots PBC Pro Shop for more details.

2. Indoor balls

Unlike outdoor balls, indoor pickleballs are softer with larger holes—perfect for smooth court surfaces and faster play. Stick with white or bright colors for visibility.

3. Court Shoes

Don’t skimp here. Indoor court shoes with non-marking soles provide the grip and support you need to move quickly without slipping.

4. Moisture-Wicking Apparel

Pick breathable, athletic wear that keeps you cool and dry. Red, black, and white gear always looks sharp and professional on the court.

5. Wristbands & Grips

Sweaty palms? Keep your paddle grip secure with overgrips and wristbands. Control is everything in pickleball.

6. Bag It Up

A good pickleball bag holds your paddle, balls, towel, water bottle, and spare clothes—keeping you organized and court-ready.

Play smart. Gear up. Game on. Whether you’re dinking or driving, the right equipment makes all the difference. Now get out there and crush it—pro style. Hot Shots style!
