What’s new
Introducing the fully redesigned v2.1 Quest 3 & 3S Pickleball Adapter! Compared to the previous version, the adapter has been reshaped to closely resemble a real pickleball racket.
This new design not only adds wind resistance during your swing but also increases the swing weight to match that of a professional pickleball racket (swing weight: 121 kg/cm²). For reference, the previous v2.0 had a swing weight of just 40 kg/cm², a range typical for most adapters on the market.
The increased swing weight provides a more realistic racket feel, making every swing more authentic and closer to the experience of using a professional pickleball racket.
Advantages
- 👁️Very good tracking quality for both forehand and backhand, especially tuned for Quest 3&3s controller.
- 🎐The swing weight closely matches a professional pickleball racket. (new feature in v2.1)
- 💨Full board for wind resistance. (new feature in v2.1)
- ⚖️Comfortable balance.
- 💪Controller does not wobble during swing.
- 🧷The design allows stock wrist straps to be used for minimizing safety risk.
- ⏩10 second assembly by hand. No screws! (new feature in v2.1)
- 👍🏻Optional grip tape can be included.
Current version:

Turtle Canada –
I’m an avid racket club player and this is the third adapter I’ve tried. The other two were solidslime’s v1 pickleball and virtual printality’s generic adapter.
This adapter has both better tracking and weight balance than the previous two.
For reference, my game style typically has me bringing the racket into occlusion areas for quest 3 tracking. I also swing the racket fast with high velocity as I come from a tennis background. My forehand topspin shots have a fairly big arc to them. I found this adapter had very minimal tracking issues. Basically, the only tracking issues I had were the ones that would occur anyway with the Quest 3 holding the controller direct in my hand.
In terms of weight and balance I found this adapter to the best I’ve tried so far. It feels VERY similar to a real pickleball racket and not too head-heavy as can sometimes happen with these controller adapters.
This is important because I find, for Racket Club at least, you sometimes require more finesse movements with certain shots that tend to overlap into the table tennis world. Because the weight distribution feels correct it doesn’t feel like I’m destroying my wrist or muscling through these type of shots.
Highly recommended if you are into Racket Club or other similar VR racket sports!
