Our Story
4Joy Paddles is a female-owned pickleball brand based in Connecticut, founded by Stacey Cleary — a mother of two and brain tumor survivor who believes sport should inspire joy, resilience, and connection.
What began as a love for pickleball quickly became a mission to create paddles that stand out both in performance and personality. Designed with striking artistic graphics and built with high-performance materials, 4Joy paddles bring color, creativity, and confidence to players of every level.
Because pickleball is a social, uplifting sport, we believe your paddle should reflect that same spirit.
Performance Meets Personality
At 4Joy, we design paddles that are as high-performing as they are eye-catching.
Our paddles feature advanced materials and thoughtful design to deliver excellent control, comfort, and maneuverability on the court. But what truly sets them apart is their distinctive artistic style — paddles that are instantly recognizable in the rack and often spark conversations among players.
4Joy paddles are made for players who want great performance and a paddle that reflects their personality.
Playing With Purpose
Giving back is at the heart of the 4Joy mission.
Inspired by Stacey’s personal health journey, 4Joy proudly supports organizations dedicated to improving lives and advancing medical research. We donate a portion of our profits to health-focused charities and have partnered with Susan G. Komen® to help raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer through our special collections and initiatives.
When you choose 4Joy, you’re not just choosing a great paddle — you’re helping support causes that bring hope, healing, and joy to communities everywhere.
