USA Pickleball approved · 9.8 mm core · duffel + waist pack
Why it works
Widebody face. 8.15 inches across and 15.6 inches tip to butt, the full size the rules allow, so the sweet spot is as big as it can legally be.
Cushioned grip. A padded, sweat-absorbent wrap with breathing holes and a 4.25-inch circumference, which fits most adult hands without an overgrip.
Light enough for everyone. About 7.8 ounces. Grandparents, teenagers and first-timers all get through a two-hour open play without a sore elbow.
The ball pouch. The waist pack carries six balls on your hip, so drills stop being a walk to the fence after every rep.
In the hand
This is the set we hand to families. The paddles are identical, so nobody argues over the “good one”, and the pattern is loud enough to spot in a pile of bags at the courts.

Smell
These are so cute!! Very lightweight and comfortable but I will say the only thing I have an issue with is the smell 😭. I used them for the first time yesterday and I was fanning myself because it was scorching hot and I kept smelling a horrible trash smell and I thought it was the trash at the courts but I only smelt it when i fanned myself and my pickleball partner was not smelling the trash smell so I sniffed the boards and gagged 😭 the smell is horrible lol but honestly it is an easy fix with soap but I was just shook at how bad they smelled. Just a warning!! Other than that, they are great (: still deserves 5 stars
I love these paddles! They were perfect for my daughter and I as we are not professionals and love just playing for fun. The only complaint is that the bag isn’t too big and doesn’t fit all the items easily but other than that it’s perfect for the price and quality for what it’s used for.
I bought this to be my two extra paddle set for beginners. It is amazing and comes with ball holder attachment which my wife loves. It’s a great and wise purchase. The bags even holds my two extra paddles I have totally a space for 4 paddles in the bag it comes with. I keep it in my trunk just in case it’s Pickleball time anytime…
