Pickleball paddles differ from racquets - they're solid, no strings. The four specs that matter are weight, thickness (14mm vs 16mm), grip and shape. A beginner wants a light-to-mid weight, larger sweet spot and a comfortable grip. We carry a focused pickleball range and can point you to the right paddle.
Frequently asked questions
Do I want a 14mm or 16mm pickleball paddle?
Thickness is about feel and speed. 16mm is the modern favourite - softer, more forgiving, larger sweet spot, better for control and less vibration; 14mm is thinner, firmer and faster, giving more pop/spin for quicker hands. Beginners usually prefer 16mm.
What should a beginner look for in a pickleball paddle?
A light-to-mid weight (7.5-8.0 oz), a standard shape with a comfortable grip circumference, and a softer 16mm core for a forgiving sweet spot and better control/dink play. Skip the heavy power paddles until your game develops.
Is there a difference between cheap and expensive pickleball paddles?
Yes. Cheaper paddles are often heavier PVC/wood with a smaller sweet spot and more vibration. Better paddles use graphite/carbon faces and honeycomb cores - lighter, more spin, better dampening. A mid-priced paddle is the sensible starting point.
Can you use a tennis racquet to play pickleball?
You can knock a ball around, but a tennis racquet is not a pickleball paddle and is not allowed in organised play. Pickleball uses a smaller court, a slower plastic ball, and a solid paddle (no strings). A proper paddle changes the whole feel of the game.
