Cheetah Pickleball is a St. Louis-area paddle and ball manufacturer selling direct-to-consumer with no retail markup, with a free mobile demo program letting local players test paddles anywhere in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Its Predion line features carbon fiber sidewalls fused to carbon fiber facings encasing a polypropylene honeycomb core, with perimeter weighting for a larger sweet spot and paddle stability; the company also makes the M45, a one-piece, mid-compression, USA Pickleball-approved tournament ball. All paddles carry a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, and a rewards program gives referral credit toward future purchases.
