Pickleballist The Manor

Pickleballist is a paddle pro shop in Highland run by Jordan Dayton, built around two on-site courts where customers demo paddles before buying. Reviewers describe it less as a place for open play and more as a fitting service: Jordan watches how you hit, narrows the field from a deep inventory of major and lesser-known brands, and lets players test options through real shots. He is an authorized dealer for the top paddle lines and also offers coaching and pointers on local tournaments. The draw is the combination of a large demo selection and unhurried, knowledgeable guidance, which brings in players from well outside the area.

This is a retail and demo operation, not a public open-play court, so plan on a paddle fitting or lesson rather than a pickup game. Reviewers repeatedly note Jordan does not rush the process and encourages testing many paddles on the two courts before deciding. He stocks brands that are hard to find elsewhere and is described as competitive on price, sometimes with same-day pickup. Lessons and one-on-one tryout sessions are available. Contact the shop ahead through its site to arrange a demo or consultation.
