I'm a total novice when it comes to pickleball, but it seems to be the in thing right now. The paddles (you get 2) are lightweight and the handles are easy to grip for smaller hands. The balls are light in weight (you get 4 balls total) but have a nice bounce to them. The carry bag is super nice, very good quality. It keeps everything in one place and ready to go play. The outside of the bag has a mesh compartment, which is nice to keep your phone, keys and other small objects. Overall a very nice beginner pickle ball set.
