I’m a newbie to pickleball, but have played tennis and racquetball. My first impression is that it’s super light. The handle has a nice grip that’s not too thick and fits well in my hand. While playing it feels nice and my swings feel fluid. It’s early to tell if it’s the paddle or me, but I like what Joola has made. I’m curious to try their higher end paddles to see how it stacks up. Definitely a quality product.
