“What paddle should I buy?” – all of you
I get that asked a lot. Like a lot a lot. So, I’ve put together some recommendations.
And I’ll periodically update this…so you can always return to it and find the latest and greatest (according to me).
Below you will see 4 categories:
1) What I play with: self-explanatory
2) What I would play with: basically these are the paddles I would likely be using if I weren’t using the paddle in #1
3) What’s buzzin: these are trendy paddles that seem to be popular among the pickleball junkies. If I see someone with one of these paddles, then I assume they spend a lot of time on the pickleball internet
4) Bang for your buck: solid paddles that are a little more affordable
5) Ladies Recs: my mom is a beginner and wanted to some paddle recommendations, so…that’s what these are! I thought they might be helpful for other beginner ladies out there, as well as sons like me who don’t know what to buy their moms for Mother’s Day
What are these recs based on?
- Personal experience
- Observable trends (e.g. what I’m seeing in amateur rec play and events)
- What’s got the people talkin’ on twitter, reddit, discord and the rest of social media. Safe to say I’m known for keeping my ear to the ground when it comes to pickleball. Follow me
