About
A small publication for a fast-changing sport.
PaddleSetups gives pickleball fans clear, current equipment answers with a source trail they can follow. Authority and usefulness come first; any future retailer revenue supports the research without deciding the answer.
Who is behind it?
Matthew is the founder and editor of PaddleSetups. He researches public equipment records, checks each claim against its sources, and maintains the dated player pages and guides published here. He also runs RGB Ads, an advertising agency out of Pensacola, Florida.
What we cover
Each player page is a comprehensive equipment record when the evidence exists: paddle, shoes, grips, tape, weighting, apparel, and other gear. The site does not promise that every hidden customization detail can be known from public sources.
What we are not
We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any player, tour, or manufacturer. Player names describe equipment facts; they are not used as endorsements.
Where the work is:
Methodology
How a claim gets published
The three field states, what counts as a source, and the rule that fails the build when a confirmed claim has none.
Player records
See it applied
Every published record carries its sources, its dates, and the fields the public record does not yet support.
