ARTI 16mm T700 Carbon Fiber Kristen & Kristy "IT'S PICKLE TIME" Pickleball Paddle - USA Pickleball Approved

Best for players who want control and a paddle that looks like art. It's Pickle Time is one of five Kristen & Kristy pop-art designs on a 16mm carbon fiber paddle: the 16mm core gives a larger sweet spot and more control than ARTI's 14mm Mastery Elite, the power paddle.

Drop everything — it's pickle time. The K&K "IT'S PICKLE TIME" paddle channels match-day excitement with bold pop-art energy and a blonde who knows when it's go time. Built for the player who lives for the game.

Questions

Is it tournament legal? Yes, for USA Pickleball sanctioned play. It is on the approved paddle list as Kristen&Kristy.

Do the five designs play differently? No. Every Kristen & Kristy design shares this build; only the art differs.

Are Kristen and Kristy real people? No. They are pop-art characters drawn by ARTI.

Kristen & Kristy or Mastery Elite: which should I choose? Choose a Kristen & Kristy paddle for more control, a larger sweet spot and original pop art. Choose the 14mm Mastery Elite 1.0 for the most pop and speed in the ARTI lineup. Both have a raw carbon fiber face and an edgeless build.

Is it a good gift for a pickleball player? Yes. Each design comes in one build, so there is no weight or grip size to guess: pick the art that suits them. It is on the USA Pickleball approved list as Kristen&Kristy, so it is legal for sanctioned play.
