About KiwiLabs

At KiwiLabs, quality isn’t a slogan. It's a code of integrity and attention to detail. Every paddles consistency is a reflection of Larry’s relentless attention to detail, built with precision, tested for consistency, and refined until it meets the mark. While big brands chase volume, Larry builds for the player. One quality paddle at a time.

Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, KiwiLabs was founded on a simple principle: make the best gear possible, and choose quality and consistency over money. Making it affordable enough for real players to experience the best. You won’t find inflated prices or shortcut materials here. It's honest craftsmanship, dialed performance, and a process that never cuts corners.

If you’ve played with a KiwiLabs paddle, you’ve felt the difference. And if you haven’t yet, we invite you to discover what happens when someone truly obsessed with quality is in charge of every step.

Meet Larry.

Larry Lynch, the driving force behind KiwiLabs Pickleball, combines a background in design with the spirit of a serial entrepreneur. With a keen eye for what the pickleball market truly needed, Larry set out to discover what makes a paddle great and then reinvented that technology to create something unique. His mission is simple: make high-quality pickleball paddles accessible to everyone by keeping prices as low as possible.
Larry's passion for pickleball isn't just professional—it's personal. He plays almost every night after tucking his two daughters into bed, crediting the sport as the key to his health and happiness. With unwavering support from his wife and daughters, Larry is dedicated to navigating the competitive pickleball industry with integrity and a commitment to excellence. KiwiLabs may not be the biggest company, but under Larry’s leadership, it’s one that always prioritizes its customers, delivering top-tier products at unbeatable prices.
