Our Team

Most paddles use similar technology. What makes Lunar Pickleball different is the story behind our brand and the people who bring it to life.

At Lunar Pickleball, we put athletes first. But we also obsess over quality, performance, and timeless design. Every paddle we create blends precision craftsmanship with clean, modern aesthetics, built for players who demand excellence on the court and care about how they show up off it.

We believe performance should never come at the expense of purpose. That’s why Lunar is more than a paddle company. We’re building a global community supporting athletes, inspiring everyday players, and helping grow the game wherever we go.

This is about more than pickleball. It’s about people. And it’s about giving them the best.
