nice beginner racket janet Beginner

Pros: I have only used it one time but was pleasantly surprised with its performance. I am a true pickle ball beginner, just learning. I have played tennis for many years and am comfortable with using a racket. I have smaller hands and the grip was perfect for me.

Cons: I have not used it enough to identify any flaws.

Pros and Cons Debbie B. Intermediate

Pros: I love the colors and the large head. I like the lightness of the paddle and the small grip with nice sticky tape for non-slip grip. Also, I love the price!

Cons: I read somewhere that this paddle was rated as "quiet." It's not. Also, the surface is pretty smooth, so if you want a textured surface to help you put spin on the ball, this isn't the paddle for you. If you're just beginning and you want a good starter paddle, this one is great.

Love this paddle Elizabeth Beginner

Pros: I am a beginner so some of my stars could change as I play more. But I main concern was the weight and power of the paddle. It so far is working as far as those concerns are.

Cons: None at this time.
