[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pickleball paddles are really a great buy! The surface is very gritty and allows the ball to hit off of it very nicely. The handle is super comfortable and wrapped really nciely. The thumb placement is also great. You can see in the picture that the size is exactly how it should be for pickleball. I also sometimes play ping pong with these too. Not exactly right but still works! I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice lightweight pickleball racquet. The handle is comfortable. It isn’t as squishy as some others I’ve held. I like how the face has a little texture. It will help grip the ball. With it being so lightweight, it will be easy on my wrists as I play pickleball. I’m looking forward to playing pickleball and showing my friends who’s boss with this great racquet. I received an incentive to write this review.
