Affiliate Disclosure

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on Pickleball Studio are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on the link and purchase an item, we may receive a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the store.

Where Affiliate Links Appear

You may encounter affiliate links in the following places on our site:

• Paddle reviews — “Where to Buy” links at the bottom of our in-depth reviews
• Paddle database — purchase links on individual paddle pages
• Comparison tool — “Buy Now” buttons in side-by-side comparisons
• Blog posts — in-text links to products we mention
• Deals & Discount Codes — our dedicated page with active brand discount codes

Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page source for transparency and search engine compliance.

Our Editorial Independence

This is the most important part: affiliate partnerships never influence our ratings, recommendations, or editorial opinions.

• No brand can pay for a review score.
• We purchase or receive paddles for testing independently of any affiliate relationship.
• If a paddle isn’t worth the money, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the brand.
• Our testing methodology is the same for every paddle, whether or not we earn a commission on sales.

You can read more about how we test on our About page.

Discount Codes

We partner with several pickleball brands to offer exclusive discount codes to our audience, including codes like PBST20 (20% off) and PBSTUDIO (15% off). When you use these codes, you save money on your purchase and we receive a small commission. It costs you nothing extra — in fact, you pay less.

All current codes are listed on our Deals & Discounts page.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running Pickleball Studio — purchasing paddles, measuring specs, filming reviews, and maintaining this website — takes time and money. Affiliate commissions help us keep the lights on so we can continue producing free, independent content for the pickleball community.
