I ordered this racquet because my others were starting to show their age. I will be the first to admit that I am not a pickleball racquet expert, but I can still tell that this racquet is better than most I've had. The bold design stands out on the court - it is pretty cool looking. It has a comfortable grip, so it’s easy to hold even during long matches. The racquet feels lightweight but still delivers solid power when hitting the ball. It’s also durable, showing minimal wear even after frequent use. Overall, this racquet is a great choice for players looking for both performance and style.

I have had this for a couple of months now and I chose the black and white striped design. The scratch resistant edge guard is nice, and you get a fiberglass surface that is lightly sanded to give it more grip for the ball. The group circumferences ,4 1/4 inch, is better for players with small to medium hands. The paddle weighs just over seven and a half ounces, which is light for a paddle. This increases your hand speed and gives you more pop and power on the ball. This is a decent beginners to intermediate skill level paddle. The smaller group of circumference is not recommended if you have bigger hands. Perfect for kids and also for adults with smaller hands.

The PICKLEBALL PREP Pickleball Paddle in white/pink stripe is a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced players. The lightly sanded fiberglass face offers excellent control and feel, while the durable core provides a powerful and consistent hit. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended play. Whether you're practicing your skills or competing in a tournament, this paddle is a reliable and stylish companion on the court.

Love this pickleball paddle! The grip is comfortable and it is lightweight but packs a punch. Color is true to the photo as well!

Great beginner paddle for my daughter. It is overall lightweight and has a nice pattern. Easy for her to grip. Not sure how long it will last right now, since it is still new. But I like it and she does too.

The smaller size and weight is good for kids. My daughter is 9 and she can use this a lot better than an adult sized paddle. We just play for fun and it works well for that. She also likes the pattern. The quality seems good and I expect it'll hold up well to intermittent use. The pic makes it look like you might get two paddles, but there is only one.

I smash the pickleball on the regular with this paddle

I love the understated preppy look of this paddle, I think it’s unisex enough for both a male or female player I’m a beginner pickleball player, but we are already obsessed. I’ve purchased several different paddles for our family and our vacation rental. This one is a solid middle of the road paddle, similar to the basic early ones I purchased. It’s got a slightly smaller handle length than a couple of my other paddles, so if you have very large hands you may want to take that into account. It’s lightweight and easy to use. If you are an advanced player there are probably fancier paddles out there, but for the rest of us, this is a great option.

Control: This paddle has a defined weak spot but offers very good control and is very comfortable. Weight / Balance: This is a long and wide paddle with decent weight. It's middle-loaded. Grip: Super nice grip that adds to the overall comfort of this paddle. Handle: This is the downside for larger players. The handle is very small, as you can see in the picture with XL-sized hands. Texture: Slick surface with no texture. Durability: Feels like an overall very solid and durable paddle. Sound/Look: There is a dead spot, but the rest of the paddle produces a nice sound when hitting the ball. The look is "old school" cool. Overall, this is a great beginner paddle for smaller players, offering excellent control.

I really love the paddle itself. It is made with high quality materials, looks super nice, has a great handle and is light weight. I am excited to use this when we go down to Florida and can play outdoors! For the price, I was disappointed by the presentation. You can get 2 paddles, balls and a bag for less than the price of this one paddle. While I think this paddle itself is premium quality, opening up the Amazon box and seeing it in a bubble wrap sleeve was disappointing. There isn’t even a paddle case. That is why 4/5 stars. The paddle itself is amazing, but for the price I expected more with it or from a presentation stand point.

I recently got into pickleball and tried several paddles to find the one for me. I wanted to get a mid price range but good quality paddle. This one is not for me. The paddle is heavier than the other ones that I used and the grip part is shorter. So, it requires more energy to use the paddle. The surface was good and grippy but overall, I was not a big fan of this paddle.

We finally have our backyard pickleball court poured and are starting to use it. I love to evaluate pickleball paddles as I love to play pickleball. I have a few items to share. The handle is soft but good. I like how sturdy this Fiberglass paddle is. The Sweet Spot (SS) is pretty good on this paddle which allows for some nice hits. The SS surface was textured which made it easy to control the ball movement. For those looking for a pretty look and feel to a paddle, this is the one. Very well designed. I like the hitting of this paddle. It was good, nothing fancy. There wasn't anything to carry or cover this paddle included so you may want to consider buying one. Based on the value for the price, I felt the value was average.

Small perfect paddle

This is a really nice racquet! I really like the weight of it and it's really nice quality!

Even though made from fiberglass the paddle is well balanced that ads in great control . While playing with this paddle the design of the handle was comfortable. I absolutely loved the color combo , simple and elegant. This is definitely a step up from a beginner paddle. This is a great value , over all well built .

This pickleball paddle is exactly what you'd expect for a beginner or casual player. It's lightweight and comfortable to hold, even for smaller hands. The fiberglass surface seems durable, and I haven't noticed any scratches on the edge guard yet. Overall, this paddle is a great value for the price. If you're just starting out with pickleball, or looking for a basic paddle for occasional play, this one is a good choice.

This little paddle is lightweight, has enough grip on the face to get a lot of spin on the ball, and has a nice cushiony grip. I didn't realize how heavy the one I used to use was until I received this one. It makes a huge difference when you spend a couple of hours playing. The dark blue, tan, and white color scheme looks very posh as well. Just need to find a cover that matches it now.

The Pickleball Prep paddle is light and feels firm on ball strikes. The paddle is good for all court play with balance of control and power. The surface is lightly sanded to help with ball spin. The handle grip is smooth and comfortable. Overall, this paddle is a steppingstone to improving my skill set .

Our 6 year-old has been trying to learn to play with an adult paddle. This works much better, he doesn't scrape the ground when trying to hit a low ball like he sometimes does with a long adult paddle. It has a smaller grip and is lightweight. He now wants to play pickleball in the driveway EVERY afternoon. It also works well for the nine year old. The price point is fair as the quality of the paddle (grip and edge cover) seems good. I do wish it came with a sleeve/case, which they could easily include. It would help encourage kids to protect their gear.

My first impression was this smaller paddle is going to be harder to swing because it still has some heft to it. My daughter had some trouble using one of my paddles when we'd play but I'm not sure if it's air resistance or this paddle is that much lighter but it made a huge difference in her swing. The paddle still felt like it had weight but her swing was much more fluid. She's a smaller 12 yo and this was perfect for her. A smaller sweet spot but like any sports equipment made for smaller people that's expected. Very well made and looks great.

I think this scales down nicely for a younger player to get familiar with the game. I can see someone really young starting Pickleball up because of this smaller paddle, especially where a more standard size might be a bit heavy or awkward for them. Much like a junior sized football is for younger players. I even think most health clubs that have courts, or designated pickle ball locations should have a few of these available for younger players that want to give the sport of Pickle ball a try.

This is a good starter paddle with a fun crest with vibrant colors and a good grip.

This is a very well designed and high quality pickleball paddle that would be great for beginners and more experienced players alike. The design and color are very nice and vibrant and looks just like the photos. It’s on the pricier end of pickleball paddles; however, it’s very lightweight and looks and feels great so I’m happy with it for the price.

This is a stunning pickle ball paddle. The quality is great. The color of the handle is beautiful with the pink and white paddle design. The colors are well done. The grip feels good. The weight is also great. Will perform well and the price is great. It is great feel when you spin it in your palm. I am very pleased with this. It’s going to be a gift for a coworker and it is really going to make her day!

This is a really high quality product and I love the design. It's sleek and well made!

Out of the box the grip tape is very comfortable for me. The paddle itself is nice and stiff with good ball control. Putting power into it the bounce is good. Great quality overall.

This is a perfect paddle for kids. It has a very small handle and paddle face which I would say is about 65 percent of a full size paddle. The grip feels good to hold and fits my little ones enjoys playing much more now they are able to swing easier. A little pricier but it is great for kids.

It's smaller than other paddles. It's also much lighter. My son can hit the balls really well with this paddle. It feels as solid and well made as any other paddle. He's 10 years old, but I bet a younger kid could still pick this up and use it.

This paddle is perfect for my kids. It is light and has a smaller handle. Well worth it! Many fun pickleball evenings await!

This is nicely made, has a well wrapped grip, and the feel is just like my other paddles. I like that the only difference is size, not quality. I thought it might be a problem for the kids to use since they would have a smaller surface for striking the ball, but it works fine. If anything, it helps build accuracy.

Good quality and perfect for pickleball!

This paddle looks great in person. The colors are really sharp and clean. The brown leather handle looks and feels great in your hand. The sweet spot on the paddle is nice and it feels good in the hand. I think the weight is good along with the balance. My one problem for the price is that I have been playing with a raw carbarn surface which creates better spin. I think at this price point they could and textured the surface.
