Nope, this is an entirely new game! Revolutionary equipment, unmatched portability and durability, special rules to keep matches extra close and spicy … Pepper Pong is ping pong’s beefed-up, tricked-out, dialed-in cousin (with pickleball DNA). In fact, pro pickleball players are using our game for training - check out this story from Pickleball Portal, or this one from Pickleball.com.

The story of Pepper Pong is a story of addiction, recovery and inspiration. Our founder, Tom Filippini, played hundreds of hours of ping pong during his time in rehab. He knew he could improve this age-old game, and he promised himself that he would follow through on his vision if he could achieve sobriety - which he did in 2016. You can read Tom's full story HERE.

Because our game is a mashup of ping pong and pickleball - and because pickles and peppers go together like peanut butter and jelly - we thought "Pepper Pong" would be the perfect moniker.

Our proprietary “fence” is 100% freestanding, ridiculously versatile (ie. works on any flat-ish surface) and laughably easy to set up. Doubles match on the kitchen island? Extend your fence to 48”. Singles battle on top of your camp cooler? Collapse it down to 15”. Then, easily stash it away in the included carrying case.

Indeed! Three different balls (aka “Peppers”) for three different playing styles.

For aggressive death battles against your worst enemies, we recommend red (Ghost). For casual games against grandma, go with green (Jalapeno). For everything in between, there’s yellow (Habanero).

Best of all, unlike ping pong balls, our Peppers are DEAD SILENT and BASICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Thou shalt call them “Mullets,” and they make your uncle’s ping pong paddles (with their half-broken handles and peeling surfaces) look like tools from the bronze age. Made from space-age composites with a generous sweet spot, these deft instruments are lightweight and durable with a pickleball-esque look and feel.

When you order a full Pepper Pong set, you’ll get 1 folding fence (net), 4 mullets (paddles), 1 mixed tube of 3 peppers (balls), 2 headbands, 2 wristbands, 1 official rulebook and some stickers to boot. It’s all packed into a sleek carrying case roughly the size of a Dopp kit.

Absolutely! Today you can order extra peppers (balls) as a spicy accoutrement. If you want to purchase extra mullets (paddles) or any extra fence (net), reach out and we will get you sorted!

Absolutely not! Thanks to our freestanding fence and futuristic air-foam balls, Pepper Pong can be played on any flat (or even flat-ish) surface. We’ve seen games break out on airport floors, wooden decks, flipped-over paddleboards, truck hoods and everywhere in between.

We thought you’d never ask! You can read our official rules HERE. At a high level, the rules of Pepper Pong are designed to facilitate long rallies, crazy comebacks, silly shenanigans and more high-fives than the New York City Marathon finish line.

Pickleball was designed to decelerate and democratize tennis, making it more accessible (but no less strategic) for players of all different abilities. Pepper Pong represents a new spin on ping pong in much the same way, except we doubled down on versatility, portability, durability and fun. The ball-to-paddle size ratio is the same as pickleball, too.
