Nice paddle but surface chips and scuffs quickly.
I’ve had this paddle 3 days and practice daily for 30 minutes in my basement. Within the first day of practice, there had been multiple chips and scuffs in the graphics of the paddle. The paddle is responsive and great, but what’s up with the chipped and scuff marks on the paddle?

Absolutely fantastic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What great quality , so much better than those cheap ones folks use and don’t realize how it affects their stroke. It was great fun playing with it and I also made my husband use it in one of his games, he loved it as much. Definitely recommend to friends

Great for Beginners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother decided he wanted to start playing Pickleball. Not knowing much about it, I got him this racket at the recommendation of a friend. So far, he is very much enjoying playing and he said that the racket is perfect for a beginner. It is easy to grip and does not slip when he is playing. It is also easy to control.

Easy to handle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a tennis player who is learning pickleball. I started playing in September of this year. These are terrific, sturdy paddles for someone learning the game. They are easy to handle and light weight. I like them so much I ordered another set so the whole family can play. I would recommend these paddles.

Great for beginners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Joola Essentials pickleball paddle has 12 mm response polymer core and 12 mm fiberglass surface. Love that it is made in the USA. This was my first experience playing pickleball and this paddle was easy to use. The handle grip is comfortable and east to control. I have nothing to compare this to but am very pleased with the weight of the paddle and the construction.

Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid paddle but I was under the impression it was a set of two. Either way the surface is nice and the handle is solid. Great feeling in hand. Heavy. But in a nice way. Feels solid. The design is muted and unobtrusive.

Great quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paddles I received came in a neat storage bag with draw string closure for easy carrying, and easy storage. The quality of the paddles are definitely higher and and the graphics are simple, but stand out. I would definitely recommend this brand

The JOOLA Essentials Blue Pickleball Paddle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the JOOLA Essentials Blue Pickleball Paddle. I was a first time pickle ball player and loved the way the paddles felt. The grip on it was very comfortable and the paddle itself was just the right size. The color was a grey blue and looked really nice.

Great Pickleball paddle for a beginner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am new to pickleball, and I am hooked right away. Joola Essentials is a great choice. I felt in control when hitting the ball, and the surface was large enough, making it easy to come in contact with the ball. It is lightweight, and easy to grip and hold. I would recommend this to a friend.

Great for all types of players
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll admit I didn’t jump on the pickleball bandwagon immediately, but now that I have, my family has been having so much fun. These paddles are lightweight, have a comfortable grip, and even look cool. My son always calls dibs on these paddles. It’s really nice that these paddles are useful for the adults and the kids in my family

Well made piece of gear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife was into pickle ball and started using this paddle to up her game. She says the grip fits her hand perfectly and it is not heavy for her. She says she would give it an excellent rating and would recommend it for all. After her total knee replacement she looks forward to playing again!

PickleBall Paddle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW. Having used a few others and now getting this paddle it makes a world of difference. The grip is great and the feel is so much better. It seems to be lighter than it actually is and I feel it is because of the handle feeling great. Highly recommend this to others
