Pickleball protection gear — launching 2026
Most pickleball gear is tennis gear with a new label on it.
REKA Sports is built specifically for pickleball — starting with the wrist and hand protection serious players actually need.

The problem
The wrist mechanics in pickleball — the flick, the dink, the reset — put a different kind of stress on your forearm and wrist than any other racquet sport. But the gear most players reach for was designed for tennis, weightlifting, or generic gym use. None of it was built for how pickleball actually feels.
What we're building
We're launching with the two things every serious player needs and nobody makes well for pickleball specifically.
Launching first
Wrist & hand wraps
18 and 24 inch options. Thumb loop that actually stays put. Breathable cotton-elastic blend built around the lateral wrist stress of pickleball — not the axial load of weightlifting.
Launching with
Paddle overgrips
0.6mm PU. Slightly thinner than tennis grips because pickleball paddles are. Tacky when it matters, consistent when you're sweating. Sold in packs of three — because you'll go through them.
Why REKA
Spec'd for pickleball, not adapted from something else
Every dimension, material choice, and feature is based on how pickleball actually loads your wrist and hand. Not repurposed from a tennis or gym product.
No fluff in the packaging
Clean, minimal. You're paying for what's inside. The branding doesn't shout — it's on the product itself, where it matters.
Built to keep you on the court longer
REKA is not a lifestyle brand. It's protection and performance gear for people who take their game seriously and want to keep playing it.
Born in New Zealand
REKA means excellent in Māori. That's the bar we hold ourselves to — not just adequate, not just competitive. Actually excellent.
Our story
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US. The gear market has exploded. But most of what's out there is borrowed from other sports, slapped with a pickleball label, and sold at a premium for doing nothing new.
REKA Sports was started to fix that. We're a small team based in New Zealand — a country that takes sport seriously — building gear that treats pickleball players like the serious athletes they are.
We're not trying to be the biggest brand on the court. We're trying to be the one you actually trust.
