Where can I buy Eleven Zero paddles?
Right here on elevenzerosports.com, on Amazon, and through select retail partners. Only paddles bought on elevenzerosports.com include the 30-Day Risk-Free Trial; the 1-Year Warranty covers every Eleven Zero paddle, wherever you bought it.
Shipping
Is shipping free?
Yes. Every order shipped within the United States includes free standard shipping, with no minimum purchase.
How long will my order take?
Orders ship from Amazon's U.S. fulfillment network, usually within one business day. Most arrive in 1 to 3 business days; some addresses take up to 5.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet. We ship to U.S. addresses only for now.
30-Day Trial & Returns
How does the 30-Day Risk-Free Trial work?
Every Eleven Zero paddle bought on elevenzerosports.com comes with a 30-day risk-free trial. Take it on court for up to 30 days. If it isn't the right paddle for your game, email shop@elevenzerosports.com to exchange it for another model or return it for a full refund. We cover return shipping on U.S. orders.
Can I customize my paddle during the trial?
Yes. Grip changes, lead or tungsten tape and edge guard tape are all fair game. Paddles with structural modifications (an altered face, core or frame) don't qualify for the trial.
I bought my paddle on Amazon or from a store. Does the trial apply?
The 30-day trial covers paddles bought directly from elevenzerosports.com. For Amazon, retail partner or other third-party purchases, return through the seller you bought from. The 1-Year Warranty still covers your paddle.
Can I return apparel, bags or accessories?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Unused items with tags on and in original packaging get a full refund. Used or opened items (tags removed, washed or worn) are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Need a different size or color of the same item? Exchanges are free for unused items: we email you a prepaid label and ship the replacement as soon as your return arrives. For a refund on these items, return shipping is at your expense: we email a prepaid label and deduct its cost from your refund.
When will I get my refund?
Refunds are processed within 5 business days of your return reaching us, back to your original payment method. Your bank may take another 5 to 10 business days to post the credit.
Are Project Zero paddles returnable?
No. Project Zero (blackout) paddles are intended for pro player use. They match the specs of their color counterparts but ship without retail packaging. All Project Zero sales are final: they aren't eligible for returns, the 30-day trial or the warranty, and they aren't tournament certified.
Warranty
What does the 1-Year Warranty cover?
Manufacturing defects under normal play: delamination, edge guard separation and structural failure. It covers every Eleven Zero paddle (except Project Zero), wherever you bought it, for 12 months from the original purchase date. Our bags carry the same one-year warranty against defects, including handles, straps, seams and zippers.
What isn't covered?
Damage from misuse or intentional modification, normal cosmetic wear such as scratches and paint chips, grit that wears down with regular play, and paddles bought second-hand without the original proof of purchase. A crack or delamination is still covered, worn grit or not.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Register your paddle in your Eleven Zero account, then email shop@elevenzerosports.com with your proof of purchase, a short description of the issue and a photo of the defect. We review claims within 2 business days, and approved claims get a replacement or a full refund. For a bag, skip registration and just email us. Full warranty details.
Paddles & Tournament Play
Which Eleven Zero paddles are tournament legal?
UPA-A + USA Pickleball (dual certified): EZ Speed E14, EZ Speed S14.
UPA-A: EZ Speed E16, EZ Speed H14, EZ Pro Origin H13.
USA Pickleball approved: EZ Power Carbon 16mm, EZ Power K-16.
Project Zero paddles aren't tournament certified.
UPA-A: EZ Speed E16, EZ Speed H14, EZ Pro Origin H13.
USA Pickleball approved: EZ Power Carbon 16mm, EZ Power K-16.
Project Zero paddles aren't tournament certified.
What's the difference between UPA-A and USA Pickleball approval?
UPA-A certification is the paddle standard used at PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball events. USA Pickleball (USAP) approval is required at USA Pickleball sanctioned tournaments. If you play both, choose a dual-certified paddle: the EZ Speed E14 or S14.
Should I choose 14mm or 16mm?
In the EZ Speed line, 14mm plays crisp and direct, with faster swings and a little more control. 16mm has more room to compress, so it feels plusher and gives more natural power and forgiveness on off-center hits. Shape, face and foam core are otherwise the same.
Elongated, hybrid or widebody: which shape is right for me?
Elongated (16.5" x 7.5") gives the most reach at the kitchen and on overheads. Hybrid (16.2" x 7.8") balances reach with faster hands and more stability. Widebody (15.9" x 8.1") has the widest face, the most forgiving sweet spot and the fastest hands. Not sure? Compare paddles side by side.
Can I add lead or tungsten tape?
Yes. Adding weight with lead or tungsten tape on the edge guard is fine and doesn't affect your 30-day trial. Our EZ Pro Grade Tungsten Tape is made for it.
