Friendly staff, knowledgeable and great selection of paddles to choose from. Best of all, they have a half size pickleball court where you can reserve a time and do a paddle consultation. Prices are fair. We got to try various paddles, got some good recommendations based on a play style and ended up buying a paddle. read more

This place is permanently closed at this and Calabasas location!!! Google still has them at both and they won't answer the phone. I went out of my way to go to both locations - very frustrating to waste my time. read more

My son broke the strings on both of his tennis rackets while playing in a tennis tournament, and we needed them re-strung in a jiffy. I called this place, based on their Yelp reviews, and they were really nice over the phone. The person who does the stringing is Aki, and he was really wonderful to work with. Given my predicament, he was able to turn around the strung rackets within a couple of hours, and I am really grateful for that! They also had a wide variety of strings available. I went with the Solinco Regular 17 gauge this time, but may try other strings out in the future. The stringing service (since I was buying the string from them) cost $14/racket, and the string that I selected cost $12/racket. Obviously taxes apply on top. read more

This spot is cool! It has an indoor court to test any paddle you want! Stop by on the way from San Jose to LA. I wish they had a store like this in the bay. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly when it comes to anything Pickleball. Highly recommend this spot for all players! read more

We had a great time trying different PB Paddles. We played against each other and rallied against a pro level staff. We got a good feel for the different sizes , features & types of paddles AND we got a good education on price points. Go and make an appointment. It was fun ! read more

I've bought several paddles here. It's great that I can try out the paddles before I buy it. They also have a great return policy.

Love the Pickleball Exchange and all the help they provide you with purchasing items. I've only gotten new pickleballs from here but the amount of kindness provided and their ability to answer questions about the sport is great! Even listening in to how these employees respect their customers is amazing. Highly recommend this store for all pickleball needs! read more

This place is AWESOME! How else can you know what you want when buying new paddles without an indoor space and demo paddles to do so??? As an avid pickleball player I heard about this store from some other friends and knew I had to drop by after my paddle finally took the turn. Right when I walked in the staff were attentive and kind. They asked great questions about what I'm looking for in my play and provided recommendations. They helped with grabbing the demo paddles and set me off to test them out on the indoor half court. The staff are so patient, obviously love the sport, and not judgmental regarding your play level. Pro tip: make sure you call ahead to schedule using the indoor half court as there is only one and if many patrons are there you might not be able to test (~20 min per customer), and possibly wear some athletic clothes as I was sweating! - Jess read more

Great way to learn about paddles and demo them. I gave four stars due to the fact that you can't take the paddle and play with it. Even if you leave a deposit or pre purchase. It would be beneficial to actually be able to try before you buy as they have multiple paddles of multiple models. If you open your paddle you won't get a full refund. But they have a great variety of paddles for sale. read more

A great place to try different paddles on an indoor half pickle ball court. The service was great. You can make an educated no pressure decision about your PB paddle. They have a variety of shoes and clothing. Call ahead to secure a time for this process. They will hit and volley with you. They are very patient. Just wear your court shoes when going. Parking can be tight in their parking lot. read more

What a great place! The whole team is such a pleasure to hit/chat/strategize with. Super knowledgeable about getting the right gear in your hand, and tips for customization for Tech Geeks like myself. As I find myself going further down the Pickleball rabbit-hole it's nice to know these guys have my back, and the gear, to play my very best. read more

We made an appointment to review/purchase a paddle and Matthew was a rock star! We tested around 10 paddles and he was able to give us detailed feedback on how each particular paddle would react to my playstyle. My wife came with me and he even got my wife hooked on a new paddle (which we will be visiting again soon to purchase that one!) Matthew was extremely knowledgeable about each of the paddles and why I would or wouldn't like certain ones. It was extremely convenient to test all the paddles at once! I went back and forth between my top 3 or so choices multiple times. I left very satisfied that I chose the right one for me. Their mini-court is perfect to test all except the deepest baseline shots. Highly recommend this place if you're in the market for a new paddle or any accessories. read more

I am so happy this store opened and love my new paddle. Joey and Aki are excellent with finding whatever gear you need and they truly want to help. Thank you so much! read more

I'm updating my first review because I used their free paddle testing service, and it was terrific. Hunter listened to what I was looking for, selected six paddles, and we went out to the court. In 15 minutes, it was down to two paddles I liked and then to one paddle five minutes later. I selected the Selkirk, which instantly improved my game when I played the next night. Thanks to the Pickleball Exchange for offering this service. read more

Practically Paradise for Practical Pickleball Players. Attention to your particular needs and concerns great listeners. Demos tell it all! read more

Time to get a new paddle (my current paddle is more than 10 years old). While I did read up on features I wanted in a new paddle, I certainly didn't feel well educated. The sales help was terrific. They picked out about 5 different paddles that would suit my needs with varying price points. How to pick which one??? Easy at the Pickleball Exchange. They have a half court inside the store with a regulation size net and NVZ. I got to play out points with my sales person (sorry - don't remember his name). Based on my "road test" of the paddles, I was able to pick out the one that felt best for me. Definitely the place to go for knowledgeable sales help and huge selection in pickleball equipment. read more

Made an appointment to buy pickle ball racquets and had a wonderful time with Hunter, the sales representative. We tried out at least 10 racquets each, and bought three. Being able to test racquets on their mini pickle ball court (in the cold A/C!) helped us really figure out which racquet we loved. We ended up purchasing the best racquets we tried out... Hunter (6yrs playing) was VERY knowledgeable with both the game and racquets. He was able to suggest certain racquets to match the way we played. We tried out racquets for an hour with Hunter, who was a fantastic coach/player/salesman. He was far superior to us and dialed his game down so we could really figure out what racquet was best for us. The racquet prices were a little better than online prices. It seems like the only game in town where you can demo racquets, which is so much better than trial and error with purchasing without trying out. read more

Same thing happened to us today when we drove there from Orange County. Very frustrated that when I called and spoke to someone on May 4th about an issue that I had with a paddle I purchased from them 6 months ago that they told me to come in But neglected to tell me that they had moved. There were no signs about them moving and the phone number did not work. read more

Great service, got to play on their indoor court to get a real feel for the paddles. They were really patient with us beginners and didn't pressure us to buy anything out of our league than what we needed for our first visit. read more

The hands-down, Best Pickleball store on the West Coast, not just LA. They have virtually Any paddle you could want. You can Demo any Paddle they carry on their in-store half court and the Staff are super friendly, accommodating, Knowledgeable and unbiased. They're also sponsored Players, so they really can help Anyone get fitted from a players perspective, and never felt like I was being up-sold. Don't buy before you try! GO to the PB Exchange to try out your next paddle!! read more

Exceptional customer service, great selection of paddles, extremely knowledgeable and fun staff. We're so glad friends recommended TPE to us. read more

Riley was incredibly helpful and they have an incredible inventory of paddles to demo. Really nice group of workers and scored some really good deals on Black Friday! read more

The best store for all of your pickleball needs! If you are new to pickleball or been playing for many years, you'll be able to find everything you need here. They have a paddle consultation where you can try out different paddles to see what works for you. They have so many different paddles at a variety of different price points. You'll definitely find the right paddle for your needs. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to picking out a paddle. I highly recommend giving this place a try! They also have a generous return policy which is unique compared to other sporting goods store. read more

This place is a must go if you're not sure what paddle to get. They have a wide assortment and an indoor court that you can use to try them out. Joey was extremely knowledgeable and helped us choose the best paddle for our needs. Definitely recommend. read more

It makes sense to me that this business only has 5 star reviews! I rarely write reviews and, if I do, it's because someone has asked me to and I can conscientiously vouch for them. No one asked for this one and I'm a little surprised myself at how happy I am that I found this pickleball store! First, Joey is the friendliest person and you get the sense that he genuinely cares that you have the best possible experience. All of the staff made me feel like they were happy to see me -and they've remembered me every time I've visited. When I needed a new Engage racquet to up my game, Joey shared the entire Engage line answering every question. He shared his entire Engage line and testing them out on the spot. I love how they have a demo court trying out the racquets -and did so before I even had a chance to ask! Second, they are detail oriented and take every question seriously. Everything feels organized, personalized, updated, clean, and really well run. Thanks, to The Pickleball Exchange and all the people who staff it! I never imagined I'd be inspired by a pickleball company, but it's hard to miss when people are doing it right. If you caught the Pickleball fever come down and get your racquet and accessories. Highly recommend! read more

The best place to try and buy paddles (and other pickleball equipment) in LA. You can test a wide range of paddles for all budgets and experience levels on a pickleball court inside the store. Owner Joey and his team are super generous with tips, advice, and customer service. As a clueless beginner, and now almost 5 months in, I continue to appreciate and benefit from their pro tips and service. Make an appointment in advance. read more

If you play pickleball or want to get into you need to go to this shop! Let me say I have been playing pickle ball for almost a year and have been getting very serious about growing in this sport. So my friend told me about this spot with ALL the paddles and every accessory you need to get into the game or take it to the next level... so I called and met Joey! He is more than helpful and patient. Talked to me on the phone for 10 minutes answering questions before I made the drive down to the store. Once I got there he started going over the paddles with me and asking me what I use and what style player I am. He started making suggestions as we played hitting balls and they turned into let's try this paddle let's try that. He spent 30 minutes with me before we came up with a game plan. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, good prices, and every paddle you can want to try right there at the shop. A long with all of the shoes and everything else you could need. Give him a call and stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

Being new to the sport, I wanted to learn more about the different types of paddles. You can read and watch all the videos and articles on the internet, but it's great to have a chance to feel, touch, and hold the differences. Not only that, you can USE them too by demoing them right there in the store! Very knowledgeable staff. No pressure and very friendly. Definitely a place to stop by when looking for new equipment! read more

This place is Pickleball paddle and bag heaven!! They have every paddle under the sun from beginner to pro level (with demo models of each) PLUS they have an amazing indoor court for you to take 'em for a spin - and Joey, the owner - encourages you to put them through their paces. He is also incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and unfailingly helpful. Great shot and wonderful advocate for the sport ... the fastest growing sport in the world by the way ... . See ya next time Joey! Now PBall community - if we can just get more courts!! read more

I'm fairly new to pickleball and definitely needed some advice on what type of paddle to get. Hunter at The Pickleball Exchange was an MVP in helping me select one. I made an appointment to come in and was immediately helped when I arrived. Hunter guided me through a variety of paddle models and weights, asking questions about each one as we hit balls back and forth on their indoor mini-court. He let me know his thoughts as well based on what he was observing with my hits. The whole process was so helpful, friendly, and non-intimidating. He didn't even mention prices so that I had an unbiased opinion as we narrowed down the choices. Turns out my two final choices were a $175 paddle and a $72 paddle. My final choice was a no-brainer :) Thanks so much Hunter and The Pickleball Exchange! read more

This place is incredible. It's run by a great guy, Joey. He's very knowledgeable and can help get you the right paddle. You're able to demo the dozens of paddles they sell until you find the right one. The prices are competitive. I was able to get the Diadem warrior and a great pair of court shoes. I send everyone I meet at the courts here. read more

Matthew was awesome! We came in as a walk in on a Saturday and he was able to squeeze me & my fiancé in between appointments. He was super knowledgeable, kind and helped us pick out the perfect paddle. Awesome that they also have a court here to test out the paddles! read more

Joey was amazing in helping to find my Pickleball gear. He took as much time as I needed to go through a series of demo paddles until I found the one that is right for me. The store has a mini court to help players demo equipment. The prices were very fair. I am very happy with the bag, paddle and balls that I bought and Joey has earned 100% of my business now and in the future. Joey and his store are an example of what customer service is at its best! read more

Went in yesterday to get my first legit paddle after playing with some Amazon trash for a few months. Called and setup a time with Riley and he was extremely helpful. Spent about an hour trying every single paddle within my price range. Hitting balls over and over just getting a feel for the paddles. Riley is awesome, and his attitude is so refreshing. Can't recommend supporting this store enough. We'll be back soon. read more

Thanks for the additional information. I was not happy with original response of why it was shipped 1-6 business days vs 2nd day air as your website states and why I posted first review. I'm glad you actually sent it 2nd day air. No need for refund as the issue was not your fault but a UPS issue. No need to turn package around, it should be here tomorrow. Not in time for the match I wanted to play tonight but out of your control due to UPS sorting issue. Thanks for the quick response read more

Great place to demo different paddles! Friendly and informative staff working there. Would recommend making an appointment so that the "demo court" is reserved for you and your party. read more

This place is great! I recently started getting into pickleball and was told by a veteran pickleballer I had to get my stuff from here. Not only do they have everything you need, you can test out any racket in the store on their in-house pickleball court. The staff here is crazy knowledgable and more than willing to help out and educate you on whatever you have questions about. Like I told the guys as I was leaving, "thanks for not being dicks" because though I know very little about pickleball, they didn't treat me like an idiot and respected me like a customer vs being arrogant know-it-alls (we all have experienced that before). I highly recommend The Pickleball exchange for their quality of store, customer service and wide selection of products! read more

drove 2 hours and the shop was closed. Talked to their neighbor and they said they havent been open for the last 3 weeks. It's just very disappointing how they dont have any sign, office hours or something. read more
