The Joola Essentials Pickleball Paddle is a good racquet.  I like the look of the sleek and modern design in black and gold.  The grip is wrapped well and the paddle is light weight.  Although the paddle is not made of graphite it is an affordable racket for recreational players.  We try to play pickle ball at least once a week and this racket worked well for me and enhanced the performance of my game.  Recommend.
