Pickleball paddles

Large choice of pickleball paddles

Pickleball is a racket sport that is played all year round since it can be practiced as much inside as  outside. The racket (paddle) is the most important equipment in pickleball, so it is important to choose it well to have the best performance in the field according to your style and level of play. The two most important criteria to make your choice are the weight of the racket and the size of the handle.

How to choose your pickleball paddle according to your weight?

The weight of a pickleball racket will have an impact on two aspects of your game. The first is the control, which will be better if you choose a lighter racket. As for the second aspect, it is power. To obtain maximum power, you will rather have to turn to a heavier paddle. For beginner players, we advise you to go with a racket with an average weight between 7 and 8.5 ounces to prevent your arm and your elbow from getting tired too quickly. And a light paddle will require more energy to get a certain level of power which will put you at risk of injury.

Ideal size of the pickleball racket handle

The size of the handle of a pickleball racket will have an impact on your comfort and the control  of your racket. With a too large handle, you will not have full control of your racket because the handle will slip into your hand and this could cause you injury. With a smaller handle, you will have a better grip which will give you more stability.
