Good paddle: This paddle does the job. Do not expect it to be the best paddle out there. I really like the different shape that Agassi offers.

The JOOLA Agassi Champion 12mm Pickleball Paddle o: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JOOLA Agassi Champion 12mm Pickleball Paddle is a fantastic choice for beginners and intermediate players, especially those transitioning from tennis. Designed with an elongated paddle face and a sandblasted surface, it offers an extended sweet spot for enhanced control and spin. The lightweight fiberglass construction ensures comfort and power, while the longer grip accommodates two-hande

Lightweight and easy to use: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancé and I just took up Pickleball and we rarely love it. This paddle is very lightweight for either of us to use and I like the fact that it’s a one-of-a-kind.

Newbie Approved with Pro Vibes: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m new to pickleball, but this paddle instantly made a difference in how I play. It’s lightweight and super comfortable to hold, even during longer games. The 12mm core gives me a nice balance of power and control — not too bouncy, not too soft — just right for someone still learning. I also noticed the carbon surface helps add spin to my shots (which makes me feel a little fancy, not gonna lie), and the grip f

It is a hight quality racket for the beginners: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven’t yet used it but I showed my rocket to my friend who is a pro and he told me it is one of the best for beginners and will work for years! It is lightweight and the only thing is that the smell of the rubber in the grip is a little too strung but hopefully it will fade away.

Fantastic paddle!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looking forward to crushing the competition with my new Joola (Agassi Champion - 12mm) pickleball paddle! I love the size of the handle and its comfy grip. I expect it will stay in my hands well - even on the sweatiest of days! Great weight - allowing me to have quick hands and the surface undoubtedly perfect for ripping some winning shots! Love that Agassi collabed with Joola for these paddles and I’ve loved seeing his a

Nice well balanced paddle: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try this new paddle! It’s lightweight and well balanced. You can get a good solid serve out of this paddle. I am still working on getting a nice spin going with it though. Not the paddle’s fault but my lack of talent. I really like this paddle though. It is comfortable to hold and gives great ball returns.

If you're certain that you want a paddle with in-built tech for vibration-dampening and shock prevention, I recommend the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Hybrid first. It's an overall great all-court paddle with one of the lowest swing weights I've seen.
