FAQ

  • What’s the difference between all the Alecto’s? The Alecto3 Red is a Gen3 Kevlar for power. the Alecto Blue is a Gen2 Kevlar for control. the Alecto Green is Gen2 Kevlar/carbon fiber weave and is in the middle. All are hybrid shape.
  • 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.

Excellent paddle

I was looking for a bit more power with the control of my Selkirk Vanguard control. And for me your Alecto Blue is a perfect fit. And at an extremely reasonable price. The groups I play with have noticed a difference in my game with an uptick of power. Looking forward to sharing your passion with my Pickle Ball community.

Thanks for standing behind your product!

I was looking to replace a gen1 Diadem paddle and came across the Alecto. I settled on the green as I liked the carbon fiber/kevlar combo for a little extra pop. The price was good and the transaction seamless. The difference in performance of the paddle from my previous one was noticeably better. Still had the power of the Diadem but a lot more feel and forgiveness in the paddle for dinks and resets. Unfortunately, there was a quality issue with the paddle and it broke at the handle after only a few months. I am still giving 5 stars on my review because with one email to customer service Pickln had a brand new paddle in my hands in less than a week. So as of now 5 stars on the paddle for price and performance, 1 star on durability, and 5 stars for company customer service. Hopefully the broken paddle was a fluke but I will keep you posted!

Alecto blue is NOT a gen 3 paddle...

After watching the JohnKew review on youtube, I searched and purchased the paddle on AMAZON... In October 2024, it was advertised as a Gen2/Gen3...
Attractive paddle, was added to our club demo inventory, but it is not a Gen3 suspended core paddle like the ACE Heart paddle or the Mod Joola paddle...
DISAPPOINTING purchase for our 650+ member club...

Thanks for your note and sorry to hear about your misunderstanding. The Alecto Blue and Alecto Green are and always have been advertised as Gen2 paddles, which are thermoformed. The Alecto3 Red is a Gen3 paddle, and also has only been advertised as a Gen3. The reviews you mention also make this very clear.
