JOOLAPickleball Paddle – Reinforced Fiberglass Surface, Honeycomb Polypropylene Core, USAP Approved Paddles, Durable & Beginner-Friendly Pickleball Racket w/Comfortable Grip, Multiple Colors

I’m kind of a rookie, so I haven’t used a ton of paddles. This is better than the 2 I’ve used otherwise. I really like it a lot, and my friend who plays much more than I do liked it enough to buy one for his wife. This paddle rocks, and thankfully doesn’t cost an insane amount. I think it’s pretty worth itOnly complaint is the white handle. Who asked for that? Obviously it started to discolor after a few sweaty uses. Should’ve had black grip tape.

At first, I thought the price was too much for a pickleball paddle, but it turns out (like with most things) that you get what you pay for. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Joola makes a number of high priced paddles. Some what of an elite brand I figured some of that quality would rub off on an entry level priced paddle. So far I think my logic was correct. Compared to my previous paddle this is a banger. Clearly more POP. Hit on the sweet spot and you get the strong loud POP that I like. Joola white handle looks premium... but is already showing some staining and this is from indoor play. Weight is fine but the paddle does feel 'small'? Possibly because of the handle which is maybe a 1/2 inch shorter and a bit thinner than my previous paddle. IF I decide to return the paddle, the length of the grip will be the reason. So far I have found the ribs on the grip on one side of the paddle fit my hand well. That has become my front, attack side. If I reverse the paddle, my hand does not fit well. Raised ribs land in the wrong place. I never noticed the front / back grip difference on my previous paddle. I do wish Joola had added a nice Joola cover. It would have felt more premium, less basic, and I would have gladly paid an extra $10 or so. Guess that makes me a name dropper? I may demo another brand or two before finally deciding if the Joola Essentials is a keeper.

This is most certainly a beginner to intermediate level paddle of exceptional quality. It just came in the mail, but my first impression of it feel in hand far exceeds the various paddle I've tried at just under this price point. Also, I ordered two used items for the first time… One came in terrible shape, despite being described as like new… This paddle from Joola is certainly new at used price.Ending up buying a second one!

This item is just right for my size of hand. The grip material I especially like as less sweating. The composition of this paddle I am pleased with. Intermediate level.I have tried 5 different paddles this one is a keeper do to size , composition of materials and weight.

Pickleball is amazing and this is a great starter paddle.

would have preferred any color but white for the grip

This is a great paddle for beginners and Those that like to get into pickelball good price for a quality paddle
