{"title":"Pickleball - Starter Sets","description":"\u003ch1 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eJump on the court tomorrow with our pickleball sets to get started\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWe're not going to lie: pickleball looks really easy when you watch others play at the local park. But as soon as you get on the court with a low-end wooden racket bought in a supermarket, you quickly realize that the ball flies everywhere, that your wrists hurt after twenty minutes, and that you spend your time picking up balls instead of placing your dinks. Starting sport is no reason to play with poor quality equipment. At Nation Sport, we have assembled starter kits that make no compromises: real stock that is light, easy to handle, which forgives early technical errors and which instantly makes you look like a player who knows what he is doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eEverything you need to survive your first game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWe've stripped away all the complex jargon to give you the essentials in one package.

Even if you don't hit the ball perfectly in the middle, it will still go through the net instead of dying at your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight control:\u003c\/b\u003e No more wooden rackets that weigh a ton. Our entry-level models weigh around 7.8 ounces, which protects your elbow (the famous \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"168\"\u003etennis elbow\u003c\/i\u003e) and gives you enough reaction speed at the net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe complete pack:\u003c\/b\u003e You receive two or four rackets, protective covers to prevent scratches in the trunk of the tank, and a set of approved balls so you don't have to beg for equipment from court neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eWhy choose your starter kit from Nation Sport?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eBecause we won't let you leave with a box without explaining to you how it works. Our entire inventory of beginner sets is physically stored in our warehouse in Boucherville. To maximize your experience and reach our performance goal (and save on shipping costs), take the opportunity to add the beginner's essentials to your basket: a cap or visor to block the late afternoon sun, and above all, a ribbon racket edge protector. When we start, we often scrape the asphalt wanting to save the low balls; This little $5 addition will double the life of your new racket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13,0\"\u003e💡 The Coach's Advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe classic mistake to avoid:\u003c\/b\u003e When you unpack your kit and jump on the court for the first time, forget the tennis reflex of wanting to hit the ball as hard as possible. In pickleball, power without control is your worst enemy. Stay relaxed on your grip (think pressure 4 out of 10). The majority of points for beginners are lost because you hit too hard into the net or off the baselines. Just focus on returning the ball smoothly to the center of the opponent's court and let the mistakes come from the other side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"selkirk-ensemble-de-depart-de-pickleball-slk-club","title":"SELKIRK - Pickleball starter set - SLK CLUB","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FR\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: FR;\"\u003eThe SLK Club pickleball paddle set lets you discover pickleball.
