A proper first paddle. Big sweet spot, forgiving feel, and a price that doesn’t punish you for not knowing your game yet.

A graphite face over a honeycomb core gives a clean balance of drive and control, and the 8 oz weight is easy on the elbow and arm over a long session. Built for beginner through intermediate rec players. USA Pickleball approved for tournament play.
