I am new to the sport of Pickleball, and this Joola Journey 10mm Pickleball Paddle has been a great starter paddle for me. It is not the largest paddle, but is very lightweight and feels great in my hand with its grip length and circumference. My large hands do not get fatigued, nor do they slip with its tacky grip.  It has a nice reactive hollow body which makes the ball come off with both speed and control. I also appreciate the lip  of the edge guard protecting the paddle face from scratches when I put the paddle down. And, of course, it's just a nice looking paddle with its blue design.
