Amazin' Aces Pickleball Wood Paddles Set of 4 or 2 - Wood Pickleball Rackets for All Levels, Includes 4 Wooden Pickleball Paddles with Comfy Cushion Grip, 4 Pickleball Balls, and 1 Pickleball Bag

Excellent product, fast shipping, and very well packaged. The paddles are very sturdy and very well made. The handles have a really nice grip compared to what we have seen at the local box store and the wood is smooth. I also appreciate that the edges of the paddles are very smooth, some that I've seen in stores are not. This is a great beginner set to see if you like the game (which you should because it is super fun!) but it is quality enough that you can play with this set for a long time. I contacted the seller by email with a question and received a super fast response. they also email you with an ebook that is very helpful in explaining the game, how to play, rules, etc. If I can get my husband more interested in playing pickleball regularly with me, then I will upgrade to composite paddles which I will definitely purchase from this seller. Then I will save these wood paddles for guests to use to play with us (which you will find that happens a lot, it is an addictive game and not difficult to learn). I highly recommend this product and also this seller.

Really great quality, especially for the price. The paddles feel very solid and are well made, but don't feel too heavy. The grips are also comfortable and you don't feel like they're going to slip out of your hand no matter how hard you swing. They do also come with wrist straps, so even if you are worried about losing grip, the straps will save your paddle from going flying. They are an amazing beginner set for someone just learning to play and these are honestly the best wooden paddles I've ever played with. The pickleballs are also of good quality and you don't have to worry about them breaking apart. Also included was some pickleball information for beginners that I think would help someone with understanding basic strategy and how to win games. If someone has never played before, it would really help them understand the basics and not over-think things when playing. All in all I'm happy with my purchase and wouldn't hesitate to buy these again for myself or a friend.

These are the quietest and I love the unique pop sound they make. They are not too heavy, but you definitely notice a difference when comparing with others. I’m always looking for a way to get more exercise, so this isn’t a showstopper for me. They are wood and rugged enough, but are more apt to get scrapes and dents if you hit the ground. A rubber trim would be great, but would add weight. For the price these are a great buy at third of the cost of the others I tried. I highly recommend them for beginners and they are good for advanced players too. For comparison, I bought and tested the Signature model and Selkirk Latitude and thoroughly reviewed many others online. These two models are good rackets with more a comfortable, cushioned grip. This could be a positive if you have large hands and are playing long games, over 30mins. I also appreciate the rubber band on top of the handle tape to minimize tape un-peeling, which is a simple, smart addition that the Amazon Aces wood model doesn’t have. Back to the other models I tested... The materials and workmanship on these rackets make for a more sturdy, longer-lasting design. They have a plastic trim, so will handle ground hits well. I’ll also researched thoroughly and found these to be among the lightest in their price range @ $40-50 per racket. Surprisingly, I also notice a hollow feel when hitting the ball, which doesn’t feel as solid and sure as the wood racket.

This is a great introductory set of paddles for someone who wants a relatively low-risk and low-cost way to try Pickleball. I've picked up a few sets of these for teaching friends (and for giving to folks who want to start playing). The wood is reasonably durable, the grip reasonably comfortable, and the balls are pretty fine. The paddle itself is such that hitting with good technique usually sends the ball about where you want it, with a reasonable amount of pop. It's not quite as responsive as some of the fancier paddles, in that I feel like my control when volleying a high-velocity ball isn't quite what it could be. But it's still plenty enjoyable to play with. I did end up cutting off the wrist cords, but folks I've played with have been neutral or positive about them (those folks also come from racquetball, so are more used to them). I'll keep recommending this set to people I know who want a relatively inexpensive way to get started.

Great value set

After hitting hard for couple of sessions, it was broken. The edges are also easily chipped hitting the ball. Maybe good enough for very small kids. But for adults, it's not gonna last.
