I bought these paddles for my first time playing pickleball. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money not knowing if I’d like it and not knowing anything about equipment. It sufficed for me to play an in promptu game. I would say it’s a cheap beginner paddle. iI your going to play frequently, you’d want to invest in a better paddle

I wouldn’t suggest these paddles. After using a high quality paddle, you have to hit the ball very hard for it to go over the net. It seems like these paddles don’t let the ball bounce properly.

New to Pickleball but Even We Could Tell These Paddles were Bad

Empress Rose - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
We are new to pickleball and wanted an affordable set to try it out. We played with these for a bit but noticed that each paddle is a different weight which makes it harder to play. The blue one is a decent weight but the green one is top heavy and is horrible to play with. I found other pickleball equipment at other stores for a cheaper price, so you should try that instead if you're just starting out.

Cleopatra - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
The racket is a good weight and easy to maneuver. The balls are bouncy and light. Good set overall, my only gripe is the color, but I won't count it against them since it works as it should.

Nice basic set - 2 paddles - 2 balls - Mesh bag. Not expensive and a good easy entry into the game. Would be improved if included a handout with basic Pickleball play rules.

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!
