The PERFECT gateway set into such a fun sport! You get everything you need to find out if pickleball is for you (spoiler alert it is). This is that “find something you enjoy” exercise.

This racket is of cheap quality. In our first game itself the edge started peeling off. It is not able to withstand the impact of beginner strocks.
Great purchase

The colors are cute and they worked fine until after about 5 games my handle snapped off. Not the best quality but good if you’re old or won’t be competitive with it.

DO NOT BUY. For the first 40 minutes of playing pickleball, the racket seemed fine. I was having fun. I'm a 35 year old woman playing for the 2nd time in my life. It's for fun and I'm not going hard. The racket didn't drop and all I hit was the pickleball. Nothing else. Miraculously, the handle broke. It was still attached but super wiggly. Would not recommend.

I bought this for my daughter. I’m advanced tennis player but I never played pickleball before. It feels very low powered and ball bouncing very low. It makes big noise when the ball is hit. It feel hollow and it takes getting used to control the ball. Definitely it is not paddle for serious players. But the price is good.
Heavy, broke early

Seemed okay at first, but didn’t last long. They broke after about 6 times. This paddle (wood) is noticeable heavier than a $40 alternative.

Great price for beginners, but the handles broke off after only 2 months of using them. We only play once a week, so they weren’t even getting heavy use.

this isn’t about the paddles. my package came in early. great! my paddles came in and everything was fine. or so i thought. i ONLY ordered my paddles and nothing more, but what was on top of my paddles? a sexed book for kids called “where did i come from” i did not know the book came with the paddles. or maybe someone just made a mistake. either way, it was the FUNNIEST thing i’ve ever received.

I bought these paddles for my first time playing pickleball. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money not knowing if I’d like it and not knowing anything about equipment. It sufficed for me to play an in promptu game. I would say it’s a cheap beginner paddle. iI your going to play frequently, you’d want to invest in a better paddle
Price is equalvent to quality

I wouldn’t suggest these paddles. After using a high quality paddle, you have to hit the ball very hard for it to go over the net. It seems like these paddles don’t let the ball bounce properly.
New to Pickleball but Even We Could Tell These Paddles were Bad

Empress Rose - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
We are new to pickleball and wanted an affordable set to try it out. We played with these for a bit but noticed that each paddle is a different weight which makes it harder to play. The blue one is a decent weight but the green one is top heavy and is horrible to play with. I found other pickleball equipment at other stores for a cheaper price, so you should try that instead if you're just starting out.
Great value

Great product for the price! Includes drawstring net bag, (2) balls & 2 paddles. We’ve used these several times and everything still looks as it did when purchased. Can’t beat the value on this set especially if you’re just playing for fun. It has definitely got us outside more and enjoying time being outdoors having fun.
Dont buy these if youre good at pickleball
