Pickleball Senpai is the pickleball sub-brand of SupaSenpai.
While falling in love with pickleball, Sam — the creator of SupaSenpai — wanted to explore the possibility of creating pickleball content that was fun, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone. Instead of focusing on the competitive side of the sport, Pickleball Senpai was built to promote a casual, welcoming environment where more people would want to learn and enjoy pickleball.
Over the years, through research, testing, and learning from pickleball companies and professional players, Sam began exploring paddle reviews — not for pro-level players, but for everyday users. The goal was simple: find paddles that perform exceptionally well, don’t break the bank, and actually last.
After seeing dozens of top-reviewed paddles break within months in the local community, the process became frustrating. Too many recommendations didn’t hold up in real-world play. As a result, Sam began requesting demo paddles from brands that were confident in their products and willing to stand behind them.
With a strong local pickleball community in Canada, Pickleball Senpai tests paddles with over 20 different players across various skill levels, backgrounds, and play styles. This approach allows us to identify each paddle’s true strengths and gather honest feedback on whether players would actually purchase it.
After each review, the paddles are donated to local players who want to improve their game but cannot afford equipment that fits their play style.
With over 100,000 views on pickleball content and the SupaSenpai channel surpassing 1 million total views, Pickleball Senpai is now branching out as its own dedicated platform.
We provide honest pickleball paddle reviews from around the world through our website and YouTube channel — always focused on real players, real testing, and real value.
