Below you’ll find all discounts you can get via Dink Dynasty as well as little blurb about each company!
I only partner with companies where I’ve used their products and can confidently recommend them. I focus on Canadian companies first, always.
Owl has quickly become my paddle of choice. I didn’t realize that they were Canadian until recently and so I decided to try them out!
I am now an Owl Ambassador and loving playing with my Owl paddle.
Even their “mid range” paddles perform like a $250+ paddle!
Benefits include:
- Lower weight and vibration dampening – great for those who have or are prone to tendonitis.
- The unique fiber face grabs the ball and produces spin rivalling the most expensive carbon fiber paddles.
- The quiet sound not only reduces noise, it can disorientate your opponents!
They have several paddles ranging from cheap beginner to more expensive higher end paddles. The Owl CX and PX (and their extended handle versions – the CXE and PXE) are their mid range level and sutiable for any level of play, even advanced!
You can get 15% off using my discount code JOEL53415 at https://shop.owlpaddle.com making the price of their PX and CX series paddles only $175 including tax and shipping!
As “small business” as it gets! Based out of Calgary, this Canadian startup is currently run just 2 people! They only have 1 paddle currently, with a second coming in Spring 2026 (Gen 4 foam paddle!) but the paddle they offer was meticulously designed, tested and re-designed by the owners.
Their “Revolution Pro 1” is a standard shape paddle resulting in a bigger sweet spot for more consistent play! It also has an extremely gritty carbon fiber face and an elongated handle.
Le Cornichon’s Revolution 1 is currently my recommended paddle for any player, not only because it’s from a small Canadian business, but because the quality is just there! It’s the one I’m personally using!
Order at http://lecornichon.co – Their discount works a little differently. Instead of a coupon code, you can select “Pickup” and you’ll only pay 5% Alberta GST. Email the company after ordering and they will ship free!
Poach is a lesser known Canadian brand but growing in popularity due to great paddles and great bags.
Their paddles are right up there with Combat in terms of quality and some clever innovation.
They also have a good bag selection and the usual accessories!
You can get 15% off using my discount code DINKDYNASTY at https://poachpaddles.com
Note that the discount only works on that site, not their poach.net site.
Acacia makes pickleball shoes – not court shoes. Court shoes usually don’t have a lot of ankle support, but since Pickleball typically has a lot of lateral movement, ankle support is a must!
Their shoes also have rubber that lasts on even the roughest of surfaces (Crosscourt, am I right?). No more replacing your shoes every 4 months!
I like the high cut shoes best for better ankle support like the Proshot!
You can purchase at http://acaciasports.ca and use the coupon code DINKDYNASTYJA for 10% off!
EXTRA SAVINGS: For Black Friday 2025 Acacia increased my code from 10% to 20% off. They also added an extra code you could use for ANOTHER 20% off. The code is EXTRATHANKS and you can apply both, which, when you work out the math gives you 36% off. These changes are STILL active as of Spring, 2026 – I am not going to be letting Acacia know, they can fix it when they figure it out – in the mean time, you get a super great deal!
Tyrol is another Pickleball shoe source with great Pickleball (not court) shoes! I personally prefer the Acacia, especially the higher cuts as they have better ankle support but Tyrol is also a top notch shoe choice!
You can purchase at http://ca.tyrolpickleball.com and use code DINKDYNASTY for 20% off!
A Canadian company, simply called “SOLE” offers custom moldable insoles for better support on the court.
These aren’t spongy, fluffy inserts. They are stiff, because you don’t need cushion, you need support so your arches don’t collapse.
Unlike generic inserts, these insoles mold to your foot – either just through time, or you can heat them up a bit in your oven and stand on them for a quicker custom mold.
A fraction of the price of custom orthotics with all the benefits, and your feet, ankles, knees hips and back will thank you!
My recommendation is the Active medium insoles. If you prefer the natural and more eco friendly cork option, they should be great too but reports are they wear out quicker.
Follow this link http://yoursole.ca to get $20 off your first pair of insoles!
PB Vision is a website/app that uses AI to analyze your games!
You can upload your games and it will give you an estimated DUPR rating for each game. While this can be valuable, I personally find the other insights it gives you much more valuable as it will show you shot quality, accuracy, your strengths and weaknesses, your play style and more!
They are also now integrating with Chat GPT so you can download an analysis and upload it to Chat GPT to get plain English insights into your game.
The rating is useful, but more useful in seeing how you stack up against your opponents than anything else.
It does have a generous amount of free “minutes” of AI analysis, but if you really like it, a subscription gives you lots more. If you spend any money on coaching or clinics, then their yearly subscription will likely be well worth it to you.
You can sign up HERE – no need to go premium right away, but if you do, use coupon code DINKDYNASTY and we will both get 4 extra hours of processing!
Thanks for checking out my partners, feel free to ask me any further questions about any of these brands and happy dinking folks!
