FAQ
- What’s in the Gen3 DynamoCore? Foam along the perimeter, similar to other Gen3s, for propulsion effect. Addressed core crush issues with other Gen3s by balancing amount of foam.
- How should I keep my Alecto clean? While surface dust that eventually collects on the Alecto will not significantly affect gameplay, you can always use either water or a Pickleball Cleaner spray (like this one) to wipe away aesthetic dust and ball particles from your paddle. We do NOT recommend traditional carbon fiber paddle erasers as they may force particles on the surface from causing extra abrasion and potentially damaging the kevlar fibers.
- Why is it called "Alecto"? We're glad you asked! Alecto is one of the three Furies in Greek mythology, generally associated with vengeance. She's also a winged and unrelenting sister, along with Tisiphone and Megaera. So get out there and punish your opponents' popups with a vengeance!
- What is your return policy? We're confident you'll love your paddle and will take back within the return window, no questions asked - read more about our return policy here. If you're not sure if this paddle is right for you, we strongly encourage you to try out our demo program instead of making a purchase, since we charge a restocking fee to return used paddles as we cannot sell them as new.
- Does my paddle have a warranty? Of course! We have an industry standard six month warranty against manufacturer defects - read more about it here.

- Are you making any other Alecto Variants, like Carbon Fiber or Titanium surfaces? No - all Alecto's have and will have Kevlar surfaces.
- Can I request a lighter paddle? Note the Alecto3 is more head-heavy than our other paddles due to the extra foam layer at the head of the paddle. Unfortunately our fulfillment centers do not have a way to measure weight/swingweight so if you're concerned with this, the Alecto Blue, Alecto Green or Helios might be a better choice for you.

What is the difference between the Alecto3 Red and Alecto3 Gold? All Alecto3's are the same construction - the only difference is the colorway.
- Will you be reprinting limited edition colors, like the Alecto3 Green? No - all limited edition colorways are single color print runs, so when they sell out, they're out! Red will continue to be produced as long as we are producing Alecto3's. So if you like a limited edition colorway, pick one up!

I've owned 50 paddles I had low expectations because of the price paddle has great power great spin you can tell it was made with a lot of thought towards quality love the paddle it does what a lot of paddles say they do but they fall short totally impressed
Based in the UK, I received Alecto3 in the wrong colour, Red instead of the ordered Gold, all I can say is the service level top draw. Pickln have responded quickly and positively in an attempt to right the error, I really could not ask for more.
Well done team, very impressive.
Great feel. Great control, Great power, Great spin, Great quality.
Was looking at a Six Zero Ruby. Glad I found this.
You just can’t beat the price point of Pickln’s products and the Alecto 3 was no different. Gen 3 paddle for less than $100 and being from Los Angeles, it’s great supporting a local company too. As stated in their product page, it feels head-heavy off the bat and it takes a while to get used to. I was playing with the Joola 3S paddles and they felt faster so it took some time getting used to the Alecto 3. I recently played in Las Vegas where the morning temps were in the 40s using a Selkirk ball, and it was very poppy. Service returns were going out with minimal swings; however, it was more of a “me” problem than the paddle. I have about 20 hours of use on the paddle and I’ve adjusted for the firefights at the NVZ, 2HBHs, and volley dinks. It’s a great paddle that won’t bust the bank. Pickln has earned themselves a customer plus I get to see Niket (the owner) in person when I play.
Although I've only had a few hours of playtime with it I can already see this as my new main. It's got really good power while still maintaining great control. Spin is real good and pop is impressive. If you've tried some other gen3 paddles and thought they were TOO powerful you should definitely check out the Alecto 3! It's a great all-arounder with plenty of put away when you need it.
