FROM IDEA
TO REALITY.
A Shark Tank-style school assignment inspired 15-year-old Skylin Hasworth to invent PaddlePod. Seven days later, it was patent pending.
But between that first idea and a working prototype came late nights, sketches, mechanical engineers, CAD designs, 3D printing, and a whole lot of trial and error.
Here’s what building a company at 15 actually looks like.
ONE BALL. ONE SPOT. ZERO POCKETS.

Fit, use, shipping, returns & the stuff you’re probably wondering.
QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS.
Everything you need to know about PaddlePod — how it works, how it fits, shipping, returns, and why your ball finally has a spot.
WHAT EXACTLY IS PADDLEPOD™?
PaddlePod is a one-piece pickleball holder that attaches to your paddle handle and carries one standard pickleball. It gives your ball a dedicated spot when you’re heading to the court, waiting to play, or moving between games.
WILL PADDLEPOD™ FIT MY PICKLEBALL PADDLE?
PaddlePod is designed to attach to standard pickleball paddle handles. Its flexible design allows it to fit securely around the handle without requiring tools or permanent installation.
DO I HAVE TO REMOVE PADDLEPOD™ BEFORE I PLAY?
Yes. PaddlePod is designed for carrying your ball, not playing with it attached. When it’s time to hit the court, simply slide PaddlePod off your paddle handle and play. When you’re done, slide it back on and your ball has a spot.
WHY NOT JUST PUT THE BALL IN MY POCKET?
You absolutely can. PaddlePod is for players who’d rather keep their pockets free and their ball with their paddle. No pocket bulge, no carrying it in your other hand, and no digging through your bag when it’s time to play.
DOES IT FIT A STANDARD PICKLEBALL?
PaddlePod is designed to securely hold one standard-size pickleball.
HOW DO I USE PADDLEPOD™?
Slide. Snap. Go. Slide PaddlePod onto your paddle handle, snap in a pickleball, and keep your ball within reach when you’re on the go.
HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?
We currently offer $4.99 flat-rate shipping within the United States.
WHAT IF I’M NOT HAPPY WITH MY PADDLEPOD™?
We want you to love your PaddlePod. If it isn’t right for you, you can return it within 30 days of delivery.
