10 Best Pickleball Paddles to Level Up Your Game
Riddle me this: what's wider than a ping-pong paddle?
By Mary O'Brien
A little like badminton, a little like tennis, and a little like ping-pong, pickleball is the latest sport ready to overtake summertime fitness activity everywhere. Easily played on a tennis court with balls very similar to wiffle balls, no game of pickleball is complete without a good set of paddles (also sometimes called racquets).
While pickleball is a fairly easy sport to learn and play, players can easily turn fun games into competitive ones. Given this situation, players need a versatile paddle that’s great for both beginners and professionals. Not only that, the paddle also has to be durable and made of high-quality materials. Need extra help in selecting the best paddle for you? Well, you're in luck! We've carefully curated a list full of the best pickleball paddles available now on Amazon. It's time to get your spin on! Check out our favorites below.
Amazin’ Aces Graphite Pickleball Set
Whether you're a beginner or you know your way around a pickleball court, this set has everything you need to get in the game. The two lightweight graphite paddles weigh only 8.3 ounces, giving you all the versatility you'll need especially if you like to switch hands. This set comes with four balls and a mesh carrying bag.
With a composite polypropylene inner core and a fiberglass exterior, this pair of Gonex paddles are ideal for beginner pickleball players and professionals alike–yes, pro pickleballers exist!
