High Roller Performance Pickleball Socks

We started working on High Roller in 2022. We wanted a paddle with a DOPE design signature: that reflective, metallic finish outline. Getting the look right meant late-night calls with manufacturers and round after round of samples. Stitch even sold furniture to help fund the work. We kept coming back to the same idea: make something that looked like DOPE.
On August 1, 2024, we launched. Our first 150 paddles sold out within two weeks. After two years of work, players were choosing the High Roller look for themselves. For us, those two weeks made the wait worth it.
Then came the approval dispute. On October 1, 2024, USA Pickleball’s equipment committee told us its reflection rule extended to the paddle edge. It cited a potential “distraction” and said our finish would not be allowed. We pushed back: what evidence supported that restriction, and where was the clear standard for a brand that had already spent years developing its design?
In January 2025, the equipment manual explicitly named paddle edges in the reflection rule. The 80-gloss-unit limit already existed for hitting surfaces; the update made its application to edges explicit. To us, that was more than a technical footnote. Independent makers need clear guidance before investing years in a product.
The Super Bowl moment began with a last-minute request: get five more High Roller paddles to a commercial shoot. We sent them by overnight courier. In February 2025, there they were in Michelob Ultra’s Super Bowl ad campaign. The DOPE design we had worked to bring into the world was on a national stage. The approval dispute was still unresolved.
Franklin’s C45 raised another question for us. Here was an established USAP sponsor with a metallic-looking paddle edge and an approval outcome different from ours. In April, we asked USAP to explain. Its April 26 reply said Franklin’s original reflective finish had also been rejected, and a revised matte finish was accepted. It said electroplating itself was not prohibited. That answer did not settle our concern about whether independent brands receive the same clear guidance as established sponsors.
On July 6, 2025, Stitch took the story public in a five-post thread. We wanted people to see the sequence and understand why we were challenging the process. We still believe the bureaucracy owes players and independent makers clear rules, equal treatment, and evidence behind restrictions.
High Roller brings a little court-side luxury to a design with a story behind it. A statement piece. A conversation starter. Buying DOPE supports an independent brand standing behind its design identity and your right to bring your own style to the court.

High Roller Pickleball T-Shirt

High Roller / Apparel
Black bamboo-cotton jersey with charcoal rubber lettering and gold embroidery. The smaller details do the rest: a sewn neck label and a discreet DP mark at the back collar.

Charcoal rubber lettering sits against the black jersey. The contrast is subtle; the signature is unmistakably High Roller.

A sewn gold neck label, black lettering and a separate size tab. The details continue inside the shirt.

Four linked gold marks are embroidered above the hem, beside two fine rows of stitching.

The charcoal DP mark sits just below the back collar—a smaller signature on the other side.

The High Roller is the best looking paddle ever made! Way cleaner than the B&B BS ripoffs!🤣 (🖕B&B)… I haven’t played with it yet due to cold weather, but I tried it in my garage with my DinkMaster and hit a ton of balls into a net. When hitting hard shots the sound is very satisfying, and almost as loud as the Olympus! Couldn’t measure spin accurately but seems to be over 2K rpms so it will shape the ball nicely. I’m glad you went with the hybrid shape as it is my preferred paddle shape. It seems like the High Roller is on par of not better than a lot of other premium paddles currently available! Now I can’t wait for the “Hustler”! 😝 The extras that come in the bundle are all amazing quality. The glitter balls look amazing in sunlight and I will definitely be purchasing more! The glasses are awesome and could be mistaken for a pair of oakleys. The socks and shirt are my favorite part of the bundle behind the paddle! They are great quality socks and the shirt is very comfortable. I can’t wait until the weather gets warmer and be the center of attention at the courts!

Dope Pickleball knocked it out of the park with their High Roller bundle. The packaging alone was impressive, but all the products are excellent quality. Usually in things like these, the stuff is cheap, but not with these guys. The water bottle, the glasses, the shirt, the socks, the swag, all of it. And that’s not even getting into the paddle itself. Their Pickleball paddle is amazing and unlike anything I have seen or used before. I’ve been playing for a while now and have used a variety of different paddles and I can say that this one is hands-down my favorite. Not only is it an incredible paddle, but it looks fantastic. It’s so different and catchy, it really puts others to shame. I cannot recommend this company and their paddle and gear enough. Spend the money. You won’t be disappointed.

The package came fully loaded with everything you need to dominate the court in style: a high-quality paddle, shirt, glasses, socks, stainless steel cup, towel, bags, and keychains. The premium quality and attention to detail make this an absolute game-changer.
