Description
Designed for: Pop, Soft feel, Power and Control
What do we say about this paddle. WOW, it’s absolutely amazing! With over a year of development and testing we are blown away with not just its exceptional performance but its feel.
“The 87 has power that is reserved in the waiting for when it is needed. It is responsive and offers direction like no other paddle I have seen. It is exceptional for both deep serves, returns, ground strokes and dinking. It really is an exceptional piece of work.” LM
Our Retro 87 elongated series paddles are crafted with a natural cherry wood playing surface over a fiberglass substructure and a 12mm high-density poly core.
The inherent beauty of cherry wood, coupled with the golden amber finish, enhances the distinctiveness of these paddles, making them as visually appealing as they are functional on the court.
The combination of cherry wood and fiberglass in this paddle delivers a supremely comfortable feel, providing ample pop for players seeking added power while maintaining excellent control.
The surface finish, along with the cherry wood playing surface in our Retro series, generates substantial spin without the need for added textures. While other paddles may feature applied textures for immediate spin, they often degrade quickly. Our commitment to quality prioritizes durability over temporary advantages, ensuring long-term performance.
The size and shape of the 87 model are designed for those who don’t mind sacrificing some paddle width in exchange for increased reach and prefer to have the power and sweet spot more toward the head of the paddle
The Retro 87 paddle is an excellent all-around choice, for beginners and players up to approximately a 4.0 skill level.
If you’re looking for something truly distinctive to stand out from the crowd, the RETRO series is an excellent choice.

I purchased the new Brick House Retro 87 and have been playing it now for a couple of weeks.
I have used and tested many brand name pickle ball paddles. I am not sure why anyone would purchase any other paddle and pay for the logo, duty and US exchange when the best paddle is made here in Canada.

Hi Chris. About your new (RETRO 87) paddle, EXTRAORDINARY!! Oh my goodness. The weight is perfect. The handle, although seems as long as the Heritage, feels more comfortable and has a plush grip. In all of my years of playing I have never found such a capable paddle. It has power that is reserved in the waiting for when it is needed. It is responsive and seems to have an artificial intelligence that is brought forward upon request. It offers direction like no other paddle I have seen. It is exceptional for both deep serves, returns, groundstrokes and dinking. I used it during a special lesson last night and I was amazed. I have a two hour lesson today and cannot wait to use it. It is truly a fabulous piece of engineering and design. I am thrilled to have it in my box of paddles for new players to try and to order. It really is an exceptional piece of work, Chris. Thank you for the paddle!!l What a great contribution to pickleball paddles you have made!

I bought this paddle 2 months ago and I’m loving it. The Retro 87 has helped my game out from using my original H#$d paddle. By far a better paddle then anything else I have bought or used yet.
Will definitely buy again.
Thanks Brick House Paddles.

I am brand new to Pickle Ball and got some great advice on paddle purchase from a friend who is a veteran player of 8 years. She told me about the Brick House paddles and she had me at “They use a natural wood playing surface, and are hand made right here in Ontario”. I had just gone to Sport Chek that same day and bought a H*&d paddle. I did not know which one to buy and the staff person’s only advice was “pick the price you want to pay because all the paddles are the same”. After a conversation later that day with my friend, I promptly returned to paddle and called Chris at Brick House. What a pleasant experience that was! I learned all about paddle construction and the advantages of using wood in a paddle. Chris helped me make the right choice for me. My paddle arrived in just a few days, along with a great t-shirt that I wear proudly. As a beginner player, I have a long way to go to appreciate all the potential of my amazing paddle, but I just love it. It is light, nimble and quick. And I like the sound of the ball rebounding off the beautiful cherry wood. Oh, and it looks beautiful, and it even smells beautiful. Thank you Chris for this awesome Made in Canada paddle!
