Great paddle: I had no idea what to buy as I had never played pickle ball. Salesperson very helpful. Good paddle for beginner in the right range

Good Paddle, would definitely recommend: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a very good paddle and is great for getting balls that are hard to reach. My only problem is that it is getting marked up very quickly.

Only used 1 time so far: It’s fine, I certainly didn’t play any better but not sure that’s the raquets fault!
