We used these 3-4 times before one of them broke. It was great for a quick, i store pickup when we decided to learn how to play one day but they won’t last long.

Convenient to pickup at Target when just getting started in Pickleball, but both paddles broke after 2 weeks. Handles became loose/began to separate from the actual paddle. Cheap enough if you’re not sure you want to play, and are just looking to try out the sport!

Ok for a new learner, but definitely need a better racket if you’re a serious player. This one is heavy.

Would not recommend these for beginner players. They break very easily! If you want to get a good feel for the game, invest in a paddle with carbon fiber

Broke the second time we used them. The wood inside the handle just broke in half. These were cheap, but I don’t even think we got what we paid for out of them.
Fun for all ages!

Cheap feeling paddles but the price reflects that so it’s not too shocking. I’ve used them a couple times and nothing has cracked or broken. Decent beginner set.

Great weight, grip and price especially if you're just starting out like I am. The package includes balls for outdoor play so be sure to pickup some indoor play balls, so your ready for either court.

Unless you like broken paddles after the first use, do not buy. I’m a beginner but these didn’t even last an hour of play. Poor quality. Granted, you get what you pay for. Will look for better ones elsewhere.
