Affordable Pickleball Paddles Arkansas: Pickleball’s rising popularity has inspired Jonathon Lindsey of Bald Knob, Arkansas, to launch his own business. As the CEO and founder of Tsukemono Pickleball, Lindsey is creating high-quality paddles at affordable prices to help more people enjoy the fast-growing sport.
Making Pickleball Accessible
Lindsey said the cost of premium paddles motivated him to design products that are budget-friendly. “I wanted to make a paddle that was more affordable for fathers and people without a lot of money,” he said. His paddles are aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want performance without the high cost.
Growing Popularity of the Sport
Across the country, more pickleball courts and facilities are opening, including the Pickleball Warehouse in Searcy. Lindsey noted, “It’s huge. There’s pickleball places popping up everywhere.” With paddles priced at $99, he hopes to support the local community and encourage more people to play.
Paddle Design and Feedback
The Tsukemono Pickleball paddle features a thermal-formed honeycomb core with a T700 carbon fiber surface. Since launching three months ago, players have praised the product. “Everybody’s loving them so far,” Lindsey said, highlighting feedback on both power and control.
Balancing Family and Business
Lindsey, a father of three, balances family life and business while caring for his newborn daughter, Eden. He remains optimistic about the future. “Hopefully she’s a pickleball prodigy,” he said. Despite challenges, he continues to expand his product line with new paddle versions and accessories.
Looking Ahead
Lindsey often plays in Searcy, offering tips to newcomers and encouraging others to try the sport. “Get out there and play,” he said. For those who buy his paddles, Lindsey added, “If you do decide to buy one, I would appreciate it, and it goes to a good cause.”
