Paddle Guide
Find your paddle in two minutes.
Five quick questions and we'll tell you exactly what to get — set-up, grip tips and the colourway that suits your game.
Start the quizWhy Kove
A performance paddle with a lifestyle look.
We sweated the materials and the details, then designed it for the way Australians actually play — outdoors, in the heat, with mates.
Raw T700 carbon
An unpainted carbon-fibre face with natural texture for real spin that doesn't wear off in a month.
Soft where it counts
A 16mm honeycomb core soaks up pace, so your dinks, blocks and resets land where you meant them to.
Built for our conditions
A UV-resistant finish, a scuff-resistant edge guard for concrete courts, and a cover to keep the heat off.
Honest by design
No fake reviews, no inflated 'was' prices, no made-up approvals. Just a good paddle at a fair price.
30Day Play Promise
Our promise
Play it for a month. Love it, or send it back.
A paddle is personal. You can't know how it feels at the kitchen line from a product page — so we don't ask you to guess.

Raw carbon face
Unpainted T700 carbon fibre. The woven texture is part of the carbon itself, so it bites the ball for spin on serves, rolls and drops — and keeps doing it long after grit coatings would have worn smooth.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can't find it here? Try the full FAQ or ask us directly.
Which Kove paddle should I buy?
We make one paddle, the Kove Current, and we've put everything into getting it right. It suits first-time buyers through to solid intermediate players. If you're buying for two, the Duo Set is better value. Not sure? Take the two-minute Paddle Guide quiz and we'll point you to the right setup and colourway.
Is the Kove Current good for beginners?
Yes. The thick 16mm core and foam-injected edges make it forgiving when you don't hit the centre, and the mid-weight balance won't tire you out. You'll improve with it instead of out of it.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is free on orders of $99 or more. Under that, it's a flat $9.95 Australia-wide. Express shipping is $14.95.
How long will my order take?
We dispatch within 1–3 business days. Standard delivery then usually takes 5–12 business days, and express 2–5 business days, depending on where you are. Regional and remote areas can take a little longer.
What is the 30-Day Play Promise?
Play with your Kove paddle for up to 30 days from delivery. If you don't love it, send it back and we'll refund the paddle price. It's on top of — not instead of — your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. The full details are on our Play Promise page.
Is the Kove Current approved for tournaments?
Not at launch — the Current isn't on the USA Pickleball approved paddle list. That makes no difference for social play, club sessions and most local ladders. Many sanctioned tournaments do require an approved paddle, so if you compete, check your event's rules. If the Current gains approval, we'll say so on the product page.
