PickleballCentralPickleballCentral - Rally Meister Paddle

I purchased this as a backup paddle to lend to pickleball newbie friends and family. I tested it out on the court today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and play of this paddle! It is nice and light (less strain on my tennis elbow) as well as has a nice feel to it. I am an intermediate player but would gladly play with this paddle when I don't have my favorite Paddletek paddle. I guess the only negative would be that it's probably not approved for USAPA tournament play.However, I was happy to receive an email from PickleballCentral informing me that it is warrantied for 1 year. Good value!

Purchase this set so I can supply paddles to friends I am introducing to pickleball and I was impressed with the overall quality of the racket. I tested it with some experienced players and they like the soft feel of the racket when playing at the net. I still prefer my more expensive paddle, but a good set overall. I should note 3 other points . The paddle has a smaller grip and is light weight; good for learning strokes. Second point, the paddle face is white face on both sides which makes great for using dry erase makers on them to make fun art. Lastly, the set was supplied with indoor pickle balls., you should consider buying a set of outdoor balls with your purchase.

We tried another paddle first that was smaller and designed for children, but the reduced dimensions deadened the paddle face and made the sweet spot too small. This paddle has the face size of an adult paddle, but it is more lightweight and has a thinner grip size. My daughter is hitting the ball much more solidly with this paddle, and we are going to buy another one for my son.

This is a great paddle for the price. The grip is very comfortable, and although listed as "small" I did not find it so. The paddle face feels quite good - soft for feel and hard for power. I am very pleased.

My wife and I teach beginning Pickleball in two locatiions--Wisconsin and Florida. We highly recommend these paddles to our beginner students. These paddles are a great example of why you do not need to spend a lot of money to get a high quality, lightweight paddle. I used to play with an eighty dollar paddle. Now I play with this paddle only.This is not a paid endorsement.

I have been using this paddle for about two weeks and I can't complain about it. I moved up from a composite paddle and this one is considerably lighter but not too light. It can deaden the ball nicely and has improved my dink game. There are probably better paddles, but for a former tennis player who is playing competitively (not competition level) it is working great.

They were ok until they fell apart after a couple months of light play. I would return if I could. Used them about 10 times and the handles fell apart - SO cheaply made.

I just took up pickleball. Didn't want to spend a fortune on a paddle til I knew I was going to stick to it. This paddle is perfect...light weight, small grip, (I have small hands) and perfect for the novice. Several new people to pickleball have ordered this same paddle, based on my recommendation.

Bought this years ago was a good purchase only can’t use it now due to Covid restrictions for play

Great paddle, better than the wooden ones.

A little hard to control the ball
