The line

Grips & Overgrips

Tack engineered for a padel or pickleball handle — the grip geometry, sweat exposure, and stroke mechanics are different from tennis. This is built for that.

First drop$12.99 / 3-pack

Court Bags

Designed around two racquets, not one. A compartment for balls, a wet kit, a dry kit. Stands up on court-side concrete without tipping. No wasted space.

First drop$139

Sun & Heat

Padel and outdoor pickleball courts are open to the sky. UPF sleeves and cooling layers cut for a swing — not borrowed from golf, not adapted from running.

In development

Equipment Care

Padel balls lose pressure between sessions. Racquet surfaces degrade faster than tennis. Equipment care built around how this gear actually ages.

Why players are joining early

I've replaced my overgrip four times this season. They're all identical. I've accepted that nothing better exists.

My court bag tips every time I set it on the court. Two hundred dollars. Falls over anyway.
Padel player · intermediate level
They sell tennis grips with a pickleball logo on the package. That's been the entire category for two years.

The brief

Kort is the Scandinavian word for court. It's also the brief: short, focused, specific. Padel and pickleball finally have their racquet. The gear around the racquet didn't get the same attention. Four categories. Everything built for how these sports actually work. Nothing borrowed. Nothing adapted. Nothing added to fill a range.

About Kortco

We got tired of buying sports-branded packaging.
So we didn't.

The sport grew fast. The accessories stood still.

Walk into any padel or pickleball retailer today and the accessories are tennis hand-me-downs with new labels. Grips cut for a different handle geometry. Bags that don't fit two racquets properly. Sun protection designed for a golf swing. Nobody was building for how these sports actually work — their mechanics, their court conditions, their players.

Four product lines. Each one tested on court before it earns a place in the range. If a product doesn't outperform what you already own, we don't ship it. No lifestyle drops. No influencer gear. No SKU created just to fill a range.
