How to select a Pickleball Paddle

Pickleball is a fun game that is played on a badminton sized, hard surface court with the net lowered to 34 inches at the center. It is played with a perforated plastic baseball (similar to a whiffle ball) and graphite or composite paddles. It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

Pickleball is quickly sweeping the nation and becoming a favorite pastime for folks of all ages.  As a premier dealer of pickleball paddles and gear, we have become experts in the sometimes slight, sometimes more pronounced variations between pickleball paddles. 

Shop at www.BellRacquetSports.com and use our paddle selection tools to filter by paddle weight, core materials, size etc.

Tips for Selecting Pickleball Paddles:

  • A heavier paddle has more mass so it can provide more power to a player with a slower swing.
  • A lighter paddle is easier to get where you want it quickly and is easier for a faster swing.
  • Graphite paddles provide added touch & ball control.
  • Composite paddles provide more power.
  • Each paddle is manufactured in a single grip size.
