About PaddleIndex

What PaddleIndex is

PaddleIndex is a reference tool for comparing pickleball paddle specifications and pricing across Australian retailers. The platform collects and displays product data to help users make informed purchasing decisions.

The site tracks paddle specifications (weight, dimensions, materials) and pricing history from select online retailers in Australia.

What PaddleIndex is not

• Not a retailer or marketplace
• Not a review or rating platform
• Not a social network or community forum
• Not a real-time price monitoring service
• Not affiliated with any manufacturer or retailer

How prices are collected

Pricing data is collected periodically from retailer websites using automated scraping. When a user views a paddle, the system may trigger a refresh of pricing data if the existing data is outdated.

This approach prioritizes data accuracy for paddles that users are actively researching, rather than maintaining fresh data for the entire catalog at all times.

Technical note: Collection frequency varies by paddle popularity and user demand. There is no fixed refresh schedule.

What “Last checked” means

The “Last checked” timestamp indicates when pricing data was most recently collected from a retailer's website. It does not guarantee the price is still current.

Prices and stock availability can change at any time. Always verify final pricing and availability on the retailer's website before making a purchase.

Scope and limitations

Geographic scope: PaddleIndex currently tracks Australian retailers only. All prices are shown in AUD.

Catalog coverage: Not all paddles or retailers are tracked. Coverage expands gradually based on availability and data quality.

Data completeness: Some paddles may have incomplete specifications or missing pricing from certain retailers.

Retailer participation is based on publicly available data. Retailers can contact us to correct or remove their listings.

Users should verify all product details, pricing, and availability directly with retailers before making purchasing decisions.

PaddleIndex is not responsible for pricing errors, out-of-stock items, or changes made by retailers after data collection.
