Creating innovative gear for pickleball players has been an incredible ride. We poured our hearts into every paddle, and our Pistol Grip Ergo design became a standout hit—loved by thousands of fans who made it part of their game. We’re so proud of what we built together with you, right here in the USA.

We had bold plans to take things further: a V2 paddle that would be faster to produce, easier to craft, and a leap forward on the court. But it came down to a choice—invest heavily to upgrade or step back for now. After careful thought, we’ve decided to pause this journey and let Bird rest its wings. It’s a tough call, but it feels right for where we are today.

To our amazing customers: your support has meant everything. Our lifetime warranty stands strong, and we’re here to back every paddle we’ve made with the quality you trust. Thank you for being part of the Bird flock—we’ve loved every moment of this journey with you. Here’s to crushing it on the court, always!
