Shop The Post: The Pickleball Gear I use Everyday

I am sharing some of my favorite gear and clothing for a kickass day of Pickleball. From workout tees to stylish af snapback hats and some rad accessories, I've got you covered. Elevate your game or at least look the baddest dude on the court with these

Up on Top:

• Legends Enzo - favorite workout tee on the market. The way they cut the shoulders and that scalloped bottom hem is just absolute money. From their site: Designed with anti-microbial and moisture-wicking tech, it welcomes the grit, sweat, and triumph of the work you put in. The athletic fit and signature scalloped hem eliminate grab while you’re in motion, ensuring style and function that’s as unstoppable as your drive. Buy Now (save 20% with code NICKTORT)

• Free Fly Drifter Snapback - Super stylish, great fit, and fantastic materials. This is one of the few hats that I can wear sweating it up on the courts, at the gym, fly fishing, and then, after a wash, of course, out on the town - most likely downing a juicy hazy and eating too much pizza. Buy Now

• Smith Optics Bobcat Sunglasses - I’m a big fan of the Smith Chromapop lenses in general. Admittingly though, I prefer the Oakley Prizm lenses. They seem to add a bit more clarity. However, I use the Bobcats anytime that I may need to switch to a clear lens - something I am not able to do with the Oakley Sutro Lite. (note: you can switch out the regular Sutros, but I prefer the Sutro Lite because they are a bit smaller) Shop Now

Below the Belt:

• Legends Luka - These are my favorite workout shorts out there. Better than any other brand in the game. Most comfortable liner with built-in pocket. Most comfortable materials. Breathable AF. Durable AF. I have these in both the 5 and 7” inseam. Pictured are the 5” which I prefer. Buy Now (save 20% with code NICKTORT)

• Brooks Running Catamount 2 Running Shoes - I use these guys for all my gym activities, classes and pickleball. Although the are runners, they have enough ankle support and grip for pickleball. I will be making an investment into pickleball specific shoes that will have a ton of ankle support. Ankle and achilles injuries are super common in pickleball, and having the correct footwear goes a long way in prevention. Buy Now

Tools of the Trade:

• Selkirk HALO Control XL - When I am looking to add a bit more finesse into my game, I reach for this paddle every time. It’s soft enough to have insane control but not too soft that all of my power is gone. My serve is nasty when I connect it with the sweet spot and top-spin. Usually, I like the MAX shapes from Selkirk, but for some reason, the XL is my preference with this line. Buy Now

• SARDVISA Overgrip - I have tried a few different overgrips and this one takes the cake. Mainly I like the width that ti adds by using the Raised Ridge. It also has great grip and doesn’t get slippery when my hand gets sweaty. I would like to see it in more color options. Buy Now

Gear up and get ready to dominate the court with the best gear and clothing for Pickleball. From comfortable workout shorts to reliable running shoes and high-performance paddles, these tools of the trade will enhance your skills and take your game to the next level. Don't settle for anything less than excellence. It's time to unleash your full potential and make your mark in the world of Pickleball.
