Everything about Pickleball!

The best way to find the right racket is to try it out! Ask other pickleball players to test their rackets and try different weights and grip sizes. A racket should feel balanced and comfortable in your hand. Make note of the weight of the racket that feels best to you. If you don't have the opportunity to test different rackets, our paddle guide will help narrow down the choices and find the ideal racket.

To start with, we recommend a racket in the classic pickleball shape. Once you have gained experience, you can add special models. A classic racket is about 19.7 to 20.3 cm wide and 39.4 to 40 cm long. Most of the rackets in our range meet this standard and offer a perfect basis for getting started in the pickleball game. Here are the best pickleball paddles for beginners.

Fiberglass rackets are usually a little heavier than graphite rackets, which means they offer more power. Graphite rackets, on the other hand, are lighter and offer better control and a finer feel. Both materials are robust and lightweight, making them suitable for different playing styles. There is some belief that graphite rackets are superior, but there are no proven studies that confirm differences in ball behavior between the materials. Choose the racket that best suits your game!

The overlapping edge reinforcement on composite rackets is designed to ensure the stability of the racket and to protect the open honeycomb interior. Without this reinforcement, the surface of the racket can separate from the honeycomb core, a process known as delamination. This would damage the racket beyond repair. The edge reinforcement ensures that your racket lasts longer and functions reliably.

If you're looking for more power, you should choose a racket with a heavier weight or in the "super heavy" category. The power is directly related to the weight - the heavier the racket, the more power you can generate. Check out our selection of power rackets and find the model that will boost your game!

If you want to improve your control, choose a light to medium weight racket with a smaller paddle head. These rackets offer better maneuverability and enable quick reactions on the court. With a lighter, more compact racket, you can act at lightning speed. Discover our selection of control rackets and find the perfect partner for precise play!

The lifespan of a racket depends on care and frequency of use. Players who play daily will usually replace graphite or composite rackets after about a year. Recreational players who only play a few times a week can expect them to last around three years. Wooden rackets, on the other hand, are particularly durable and often last for many years. Good care will extend the lifespan of any racket significantly!

The "sweet spot" is the optimal area in the middle of the clubface that offers the best combination of power, control and feel when hitting. Similar to a tennis racket or baseball bat, this point ensures maximum efficiency. Practice and coordination are crucial to hitting the sweet spot regularly - the right timing makes the difference!

Pickleball rackets are not made specifically for indoor or outdoor use. The difference lies in the balls, which are designed for indoor or outdoor use depending on where the game is played. Rackets are suitable for both uses.

Pickleball rackets are not designed specifically for men or women. They are gender-neutral and equally suitable for all players.

Former tennis or squash players often prefer rackets with a longer handle. This provides space for a two-handed backhand and facilitates quick hand changes. Discover our specially selected pickleball rackets for tennis players and find the ideal companion for your playing style!
