How cute is this paddle?! I love the colorful tropical pattern. The Journey Monstera 10mm paddle is great for pickleball learners. It has a fiberglass surface and a 10mm Polymer Honeycomb core for thickness. What this fancy description means is that it will deliver a balance of control, but not too much oomph in the delivery. It requires a little more power in your swing. The 5” long handle and grip are the perfect length for my hands; I feel in control. The paddle is standard size - 7.8” wide x 15.8” long which gives decent reach. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get into the pickleball craze.
