When Elite Eleven wanted custom pickleball paddles to match their activewear range, they came to Pulse Pickleball. The result was a branded paddle that carried the same energy as the rest of the Elite Eleven brand, on and off the court.
Here is how the project came together.
Elite Eleven and a Brand Built on Sport
Elite Eleven is a Melbourne-founded sportswear and activewear brand that has grown from a bedroom operation supplying local sporting clubs into a national retail name with stores across Australia. The brand's identity has always been built around sport, community, and everyday performance wear.
Pickleball's rapid growth in Australia made it a natural fit. As more of Elite Eleven's customers pick up a paddle for the first time, a branded paddle range gives the business a way to show up in a sport its community is already playing, not just the apparel they wear to play it.
Off-the-shelf paddles were never going to carry the same look as the rest of the Elite Eleven range. Custom branded paddles were the natural extension.
The Design Process
Elite Eleven's branding is bold and sport-first, and the paddle design needed to hold that same energy.
- Design consultation. We worked with the Elite Eleven team to translate their logo, colourways, and brand style onto the paddle face.
- Mockup review. A digital mockup was shared for approval before production, so the team could sign off on the finished look ahead of time.
- Production. Each paddle was built to the same specification as our retail range, with a polypropylene honeycomb core and quality face material, so the paddle performs as well as it looks.
- Delivery. Paddles were delivered ready for retail, gifting, or in-store activations.
The finished result was a paddle that looked every bit as sharp as the rest of the Elite Eleven range.
Why Sports and Activewear Brands Are Choosing Pickleball
Elite Eleven is one of a growing number of sportswear brands adding pickleball to their range as the sport's popularity accelerates in Australia.
It Reaches a Fast-Growing Audience
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, pulling in players from tennis, padel, and social sport backgrounds alike. For an activewear brand, a branded paddle is a direct way to reach that growing audience.
It Pairs Naturally With Apparel
A paddle is the one piece of pickleball kit every player needs, making it a natural companion product alongside activewear, whether sold as a set, offered as a gift with purchase, or used to drive in-store activations.
Branded Paddles Extend the Brand Onto the Court
A custom branded paddle keeps a brand in a customer's hands well beyond a single purchase, showing up every time they play.
Custom Paddles for Sports and Activewear Brands
Whether you are launching a co-branded product line, running an in-store activation, or looking for a standout gift with purchase, custom pickleball paddles give sports and activewear brands a way to show up in one of the fastest-growing sports in Australia.

- Your logo and brand colours printed on the paddle face
