Finding your perfect pickleball paddle!

Paddle specs matter more than you may think. When figuring out what you want, pay attention to factors like paddle weight, grip size, and paddle shape. Lighter paddles offer speed and maneuverability, while heavier paddles pack a punch in the power department. Grip size affects comfort and control, so make sure it feels right in your hand. The paddle shape can impact your reach and shot placement, so choose wisely! Looking for words like a thermoformed paddle or a 16mm vs 14mm thickness is also incredibly important. Thermoformed paddles have more significant and enhanced sweet spots and speak to the manufacturing quality of a company, such as the Premio Series paddles at 4Joy.
