What is a pickleball paddle made of?
Most pickleball paddles are made from composite materials including fiberglass, carbon fiber, graphite, or polymer. Our paddles feature premium carbon fiber faces for optimal power and control, combined with a polymer honeycomb core for durability and touch.
How do I choose the right paddle weight?
Paddle weights typically range from 7.0 oz to 9.5 oz. Lighter paddles (7.0-7.8 oz) offer more control and maneuverability, ideal for beginners or players with arm issues. Mid-weight (7.8-8.5 oz) provides balance of power and control. Heavy paddles (8.5-9.5 oz) deliver maximum power and stability, suited for advanced players.

How do I care for my pickleball paddle?
To extend your paddle's life, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Clean the surface with a damp cloth after play. Do not leave it in a hot car, as heat can damage the adhesive and core. Use a protective cover when not in use.
What is the difference between fiberglass and carbon fiber paddles?
Fiberglass paddles are more flexible and offer a softer feel with good spin potential, ideal for intermediates. Carbon fiber paddles are stiffer, providing more power and better control for advanced players. Carbon fiber is also lighter and more durable.
