PaddleSmash - Pickleball Yard Game As Seen on Shark Tank - Beach, Backyard, Tailgate & Lawn, Outdoor Activities for Adults and Family - Easy Assembly

I bought this for my husband's birthday ... That was the beginning of October 2025 and it has been played nearly every weekend since then. It took a bit for me to get used to the game since I'm not very athletic, but I'm getting better and it's so much fun! If we forget to bring it places people complain! Highly recommend. If you like Spike ball, pickleball, and highly competitive games, this is it. We use our pickleball paddles and balls and it works well.

Very similar to spike ball. We started playing without knowing the rules as it didn’t come with the normal piece of paper. It was not easy. Then saw a video on how to play and became much more enjoyable. If you have good hand eye coordination and can use a paddle it will be fun. One player kept hitting it into the net instead of the base. so that was a bummer. With 4 good players it will get intense.

My kids love it

It was in great shape, the game is just not what I thought it would be. Not very fun as you have to be right above this to make it work or the ball just goes into the net.

wish I could have returned it, not what I expected at all, had higher expectations since spike ball is so much fun

The product itself was very well made. Great quality. Very impressed and happy with the sturdiness and durability of this game. But unfortunately, the game itself is not the hit I thought it would be. I was so excited to add this game to our beach days. We have very athletic and sporty guys in our group and I thought they would love it. None of the people in our group like the game. They said It’s too difficult to get a rally going. They were all more frustrated when playing than having fun. With how expensive this game is I’m very sad that no one likes it and wants to play with it anymore.

Great fun. Takes some practice !!

This game is a huge hit at family parties. It sets up quickly, packs into itself for easy transportation, and feels very durable. It also comes with a great warranty for peace of mind. The only drawback, and the reason I took off one star, is the price. For the materials used, it just doesn’t seem like it should cost as much as it does. That said, I would still buy it again. My family loves playing it, it’s great exercise, and you can set it up almost anywhere.

Got this for my Pickle-ball loving husband so he wouldn't get withdrawals while camping. It's very challenging. We have yet to play an official game with score keeping because it's just a challenge to get a rally going with a group. Very addicting and fun.

I have been playing it with the whole family. Young kids are terrible for the most part but they still enjoy trying.

Nicely made and great design . But video makes it look much easier than it is to play. Few pickle ballers will take to this quickly and requires some athletism

takes getting some use to but a ton of fun! our traditional pickleball group loved it

We bought the “Lite” version without paddles and balls thinking our pickleball balls and paddles would be a good substitute. They aren’t. I saw some reviews with broken paddles and thought I would save money with the lite version. An outdoor pickleball barely bounces and an indoor one works mildly better. Apparently the PaddleSmash balls are a hybrid between and indoor and outdoor pickleball and of course they are out of stock on the PaddleSmash website. My guess is their paddles and balls work best…
