No way my fist paddle will be more than 100 dollars 😂 I don’t even know if I want to commit to this sport yet
good comment i feel the same way bro ima just get a 40$ one off walmart
Just looked at the price for the Vanguard Epic ,$280 . I was hoping for information about a beginners paddle.
All the recommended paddles are for rich folks only because some advanced players can’t even afford them. Beginners usually buy paddles that are between $30.00 - $100.00, duh!
I would tend to agree. You don’t throw a $200 plus paddle at a beginner. And pickle ball paddles shouldn’t be in the hundreds of dollars price range. It’s pickle ball! High end paddles should be $150 tops!
I was shocked to see the prices!!
No mames pinche wey I'm here to pick a shape and make one 🙄 don't project your lazy onto us fool
I agree, these prices are way too high for a beginner
When you make a video titled best pickleball paddle for a beginner I was thinking a good one to get started with.
BUT I guess the key word was "best" lol
This actually is a great video for those who dive into things and always have to buy the best equipment....I guess it helps them adapting to pickleball if coming from other sports.
Me I will probably fall sending the racket sliding across the ground along with swinging and hitting the ground waaaay too many times as a beginner to spend over $150+ on my first paddle. lol
Even if coming from other sports I can see a number of ground strikes until we get used to the paddle feel, length/width/weight and swings needed.
I am probably sticking to the under $100 range but still nice video for me to come back to after playing awhile.
I watched this and it is very informative. I have also watched a few of your other videos. One thing I would like to see from all paddle videos is there cost. Keep sending great content, I'm sure it helps tons of people, no matter there skill level.
I'll add cost in the future; you're right it's quite important in pickleball. And thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Good video. You left out a group of player: table tennis 🙂
Thank you! For table tennis, I would guess something shorter but also thermoformed for that responsive feel.
General i would go following
No rackets experience - normal shape.
Tennis/squash - elongated. Flat hitter go with head. Spin- any spin paddle would do.
Badminton - elgonated or semi elongated (racket shape is similar tennis, but narrower).
Ping ponger - shorter handle.
I enjoyed the article and the "all in good fun" came across well for me. I'd love to see you cover the Combat paddles Katana. Maybe you can't carry them but the paddles' description has all the buzz words that top notch paddles have. Love to see some youtube takes on these paddles. Well done and keep up the solid content!
Senior citizen here just starting, I was very much into racket sports as well as other sports. What I didn't see here is table tennis and racket ball, the reason I bring these up is because of ball control and tactics of playing the game.
I think you should go for a hybrid shape paddle (Vatic Pro Flash/SixZero Double Black Diamond).
Great video! I have been playing about 3 months now. I currently have an slk evo 2.0 hybrid max. I’m digging the shape a lot. I feel I’m really accurate with the evo, I can control my game really good, but I am looking at stepping my game up. Would the Selkirk vanguard 2.0 epic be a step up or just basically a side step? I ordered a double black diamond and it wasn’t for me. I am 39 with no racket experience. Pretty high speed player as well but still learning a lot from the large group I play with. I would really appreciate some recommendations. Thanks!
I think the Vanguard 2.0 would be a good step as it would help you develop an even better soft game and it wont hurt you in any other regard!
Excellent video. Love the humor, sarcasm, information , and entertainment. I'm starting to play this week and I need a paddle. Thank you for the help. Btw... I'm in the 60 year old returning to athletic competition after a long absence, (many many many years) and a former paddleball player back in the late 70's and early 80's back in Brooklyn NY. What's the paddle for that player? I like the idea of the CrBn2 and the CrBn2x 16mm. I'll check them out.
Thank you very much! I think the CRBN2X would be a perfect paddle for you as it will pretty much perfectly complement that technique you developed.
I don't agree badminton players should go for shorter paddles and badminton players flicks more. Badminton players use forearm more but still pronate which may seem they flick more.
Badminton players racket shape is close to tennis racket.
I played more badminton than tennis and table tennis. , I prefer elgonated shape paddle or a hybird. I find I miss time more with short and wider paddles.
The only short and wide one i liked was paddletek one.
A newbie type you missed out on by the way is the poor newbie. Good day! 😁
Could you review the Head Gravity tour LH 2023?
Beginner here with small hands measured from middle fold of my palm to end of ring finger is only 9.5cm. Can you recommend best paddle for me pls? Thanks
I have small hands 10.25cm. I'm a beginner who is an old man that comes from a tennis/ping-pong background. I like my Joola Essentials paddle it has a small grip, and cost less than $60.
Thanks! What would you recommend for a former squash player?
I actually think the hybrid paddles (Flash and Double Black Diamonds) are perfect for squash players!
Shocked the vatic prism 16mm didn’t make the list ngl
prism 14m is my go to for doubles
I'm thinking they are only covering paddles they sell in their store.
No they do carry Vatic, Ronbus and Six Zero
Is vatic prism 16mm better than CRBN 2 16mm?
the flash 14mm is a beast, i like it way better than the flash 16mm or either of my prism paddles
Tnx
You forgot the former ping pong players
Have you heard of the Rad brand?
I have not.
Paddles cost are up cause the sport is popular also how many paddles will a player go thru while playing. Maybe top and side scrapes on the paddle no one is breaking a paddle. So its a one and done sale. A paddle should not be the same cost of a tennis racquet. The cost of quality is not there. I just saw $279 for a paddle thats nuts.
I don’t get why these paddles are all $200+
what... nothing about ping pongers???
Ignorant people thinks that Ping Pong is only for Asians, and the sad truth is very few Asians got on board with Pickleball.
Ping ponger should go for shorter paddles.
@@shitaocheng1527 i use the hybrid shape of the flash and prism flash, mostly play the flash 14mm now that i started using it over my prism flash 14mm for doubles
Where's the ping pong wizard
Good question, probably somewhere between a badminton and tennis player but I would still go for something elongated and responsive.
No Volair Mach 2 Forza? Seriously?
It's up there for sure!
You're recommending $150-$250 paddles for a beginner?? Alright I've seen it all. Beginners should not be spending more than $100 for their first paddle. Vatic Prism and Ronbus R series are good options.
I understand where you're coming from and those are great options but it does also depend on the beginner. If you're starting out pickleball without a racket/paddle sport background then, yes, go for a good budget option and start to develop preferences, but if you already have developed strokes there are paddles that will better complement that technique and will help you play better.
This has to be a joke. Pickelballers need to chill. 240 for a beginner paddle for this park game is wild.
@@lfish21. Some cornhole bags are $175....but you can get bags that are almost the same material, fill, flop and template for $80-$100...still a lot for some material and plastic resin lol.
@@timb7328 100%. I am all for NOT buying the cheapest of the cheap when starting a hobby. Nothing is worse than starting a hobby with bad equipment and not enjoying it. But, +150 ain’t it for a pickleball paddle for someone staring out.
Let the sheep buy the expensive paddles. Fads are killing the sport.
You lost me at 1:36, $159 for a beginner paddle? change the video name. waste of time.
LOL, for beginners then you recommend paddles that are hundreds of dollars.
Lmao none of them are beginner paddles 😂
