Our Recommendations For Pickleball Paddles and Equipment
This is Highly Rated on Amazon with limited negative reviews. Great for Intermediate or Beginners. Under $100 on sale and comes in 3 color options. ​
This is my personal paddle. Great for Intermediate or Beginners. Although the spin could be better the lightweight construction and feel make it an excellent choice. Comes in Wide Body or Elongated as shown and 2 choices of color. Can be found on sale for $70 or less.
Another great option for under $100 with high ratings. Sale prices as low as $50. Comes as shown in Elongated Body.
Highly Rated on Amazon with limited negative reviews. Can purchase as a single paddle for as low as $20 on sale, or as a set with 2 or 4 paddles($30-$55), Great for Intermediate or Beginners. Multiple design options. ​
These paddles were purchased by a couple we play with that wanted to start playing Pickleball. They spent over $80 for this set at the time, but now you can find it for as low as $19 on sale. Although there's some negative reviews we thought we'd recommend them since they're priced right and they get incredible spin and control from these paddles. They've been happy with this purchase and haven't upgraded from them in over a year of play. For the price these are an excellent choice for beginners
The Franklin X-40 Outdoor balls are the highest rated on Amazon. However their X-26 Indoor Balls have numerous negative reviews. For your outdoor balls we recommend these and added another brand for indoor.
This is the brand we recommend for indoor use. Personally have been using them the past year and while others have cracked these have held up nicely. You can find these on sale for less than $10.
This net is highly rated for build and durability. Can be set up as an 11 foot net or 22 foot net. On sale for less than $100.
If you're looking for a combo practice net this is a great choice. Although it's only 17 feet wide it fits across most driveways for practicing those kitchen volleys. Extends up to Girl's regulation volleyball height and is easy to set up and take down. Also light to carry and easy to store. On sale for less than $100.
