Not all pickleball paddles are made the same. There are a variety of materials paddles can be made from and each has there advantages and disadvantages. Engage Sporting is here to help customers decide which paddle is the best for them.
Graphite Surface Paddles
Carbon Fiber Paddles
Pickleball rackets with carbon fiber materials are even more durable than graphite with the same lightweight feel. This material will absorb the impact of the pickleball making each serve consistent and accurate. If you are a master of trick shots, this is the right pickleball gear for you.
Fiberglass Paddles
Fiberglass materials in a pickleball racket have a glass-like texture which increases durability and weighs less. There is a small sweet spot with fiberglass paddles which means a lower probability shot will come out of it. Players who are looking for a power-driven pickleball paddle will benefit from fiberglass.
Wooden Paddles
Pickleball gear made from wood is not as common anymore and is mostly seen in starter packs. It can be quite heavy and there can be inconsistency when serving. This material is very durable and can bring great power to your shot. But we recommend using a different paddle material if you plan to play consistently.
Engage Sporting understands that searching for a pickleball paddle can be complicated, especially if you aren’t sure what qualities you want from the paddle. We are here to help you gain knowledge of the technology behind pickleball rackets.
