    This is a more useful video than many people might realize. As I'm trying to go from beginner to intermediate, you told me I had to first evaluate my game and then consider about a half-dozen paddle characteristics. Maybe I'll stay as a beginner for a while longer... 😂

    Bro you should have given examples of paddles, categorized by their playstyle, that would be a good starting point for people to research into.
    Like giving the Vatic Pro paddles as the best budget choice for new players, with the Prism Flash/V7 being more for control/soft game players, and the thermoformed Flash/V7 being for more power players.
    And giving the example of Engage being the best company based on their warranty policy

    Wow Will. You basically just covered the one thing that most pickleballer who are not ex tennis player don't know. Grip thickness. I'm minimum a 4.5 inch grip. I use to buy tennis 4.75 grip racket and shave down the handle (use to work at tennis shop). Now with the SixZero, I had to buy the heat shrink wrap, remove the grip, add the extra thickness with the shrink wrap, redo the grip and add an overgrip. Now that grip is perfect.
    I also think a thicker, proper grip will reduce carpal tunnel and tennis elbow injury. Just my thought.

    < 'Less than'. 'Greater than' >. Someday paddles will come in more and larger grip sizes. The vast majority of pb paddle grip sizes are in the low 4" range, which is far too small for anyone with large or XL hands.

    I wish the paddle companies would be allow satisfaction guarantees so you could test it before committing to it. Especially the expensive ones. So much in picking the right paddle is personal preference and feel.

    Thank you for this video Will. How about pickleball sneakers?? I see many sites selling pickleball sneakers are just selling volleyball and tennis sneakers. Are there huge differences? Personally I don't think so. Please make a video to clarify that for us pickle lovers. Thank you!!!

    • @ruffleshaveridges
      @ruffleshaveridges 7 месяцев назад +1

      Look into taking lessons first. It's more likely that your elbow pain is caused by poor technique rather than the paddle. I've played for 5+ years (with a tennis background) and haven't had any upper body injuries.

      You have tennis elbow because you let the ball get too close to you. Hit the ball 18 inches in front of your body.

    Would the ideal paddle have a low swing weight, personally lead weighted for control, contact surface for spin, and internals for power?

    • @PickleballWill
      @PickleballWill  7 месяцев назад

      Yes. For most ppl the best paddle would have lowest swing weight possible with a high twist weight. Good surface for spin. And as much power as you can control

      For all 3 I'd say the Pro Line Energy S is right up there. For me it does lack a bit of power at times but it makes up for that with it's amazing control. Also just ordered the R3 Nova which is another that excels in all categories you mentioned.
