ERSZOO Fiberglass Pickleball Paddle - Lightweight and Durable for All-Level Players

These paddles are great for beginners learning the game but if you are looking for something more softer this might not be the way to go. I bought these and felt like there was some dead spots on my paddle. You can really feel the sweet spot and it’s very small compared to other paddles. If you want a bigger sweet spot I would recommend spending the money for a good paddle.

If you are just getting into pickle ball and you are not sure if you will like it so you don't want to break the bank, this is the racquet for you. This is a very nice price point for a good racquet. My thought has always been that one should get very decent equipment when you begin a sport so that you know whether you truly like a sport or not rather than not liking the sport because you have cheap equipment. This racquet can be used by a good player and not be dismissed as it has great feel and you are still able to do great spins and drops. This racquet is definitely a step above the rented ones you get issued at clubs. If you are unsure if this will be your sport, you can't go wrong with this one.

I'm not sure I would have bought this paddle if I realized the grip was only 4.25". Even though I'm a relatively small dude with smallish hands (can't palm a basketball), the grip is shorter than I'd like. It seems to have reduced my reach a bit.

However, that's the only negative thing I can say about the paddle. Mine is a midweight and on the heavier side ... 7.8 ounces. It's heavier than my last paddle and that took some time to get used to ... several sessions of play. Be prepared to take at least two weeks of frequent play to get used to it.

It can really bang the ball! That's the main thing it took me a while to get used to. My serves kept going long and overhead volleys kept going long. It also took time for me to be able to catch back up to the speed of the game with a heavier paddle and be able to return blasts. But once I got control over the paddle, my game got way better. It also seems that the vibration reducing features make a difference. I used to struggle with a golfer's elbow at times, but that's not been a problem with this new paddle, at least not yet.

It's also good for putting spin on the ball. I'm a 3.5 player and still learning about what a powerful weapon the spin can be. I find it easier to spin the ball with this paddle than with the Paddletek paddle that I had before. Again, it took time to get it under control and I'm still working on that. But backspin has become a weapon of mine that has helped my kitchen line play a lot.

Pickleball is all the rage now, and we got a net this summer for our basketball court and are surprised how much we use it. It's a fun, all-ages outdoor activity that really does bring people together.

This paddle set comes with a sling bag for storage or transport, two balls and two mid-range pickleball rackets that are an upgrade from what probably came with your (and our) net, but won't break the bank like the truly premium rackets.

Lightweight and a nice grip, these feel good in your hand and seem accurate, though while I'm not awful, my skill level isn't high enough to distinguish minute differences in equipment.

This paddle is great for a beginner who maybe has some racquet experience or a more experienced player who wants a balance of control and power. Control is awesome. You can hit real spin easily. Just wish the handle was longer. Seems like you have to spend quite a bit more money to get a longer handle.
