Hey everyone,
I’m fairly new to pickleball and trying not to overspend on gear while I’m still learning. I’ve been looking into Affordable Pickleball Paddles, but I don’t want something that feels cheap or hurts control during play.
While searching online, I came across a few budget options on Pickle Ball NVZ and some other stores, but I’m a bit confused about what actually matters most at this price range. Is paddle weight more important than material? Or should beginners focus more on grip comfort and sweet spot size?
For those who’ve already gone the budget route, did affordable pickleball paddles hold up well over time, or did you feel the need to upgrade quickly? I mostly play recreational games on outdoor courts, so durability is also a concern.
Would really appreciate hearing your experiences or suggestions. Thanks!
