PICKLEBALL PADDLES
There are literally 1000's of paddles on the market and prices vary from entry level around £30 up to top level in the multiple £100's. Please do your own research and if you are able to try before you buy, that would be best. If you attend Pickleball Festivals (friendly round robin games), there's always a paddle shop in attendance and you can borrow paddles to try and see which fit you best.
In the meantime please visit The Pickleball Store: www.thepickleballstore.co.uk, they have an excellent of Paddles with a broad price range. There are 3 brands I recommend you have a look at. Franklin, Diadem and Selkirk. If you do purchase from The Pickleball Store, you can get 5% off with my code: MDGROOTCOACHING.
I have supplied the Diadem Hero paddle to most of our local players and they seem to be happy with them and they have lasted a good amount of time. Paddles do wear out over time, depending on how hard you play them.
The Hero paddles as singles sell at £45 but if you purchase a set of two, they work out at £35 each, plus you get two balls.
