Anything with T700 raw carbon fiber will perform well. That's become the standard in pickleball. And if it's advertised as being "thermoformed" or "unibody construction with edge foam," even better.

There are two "cheap" $50 paddles on Amazon that are pretty much on par with the $200 paddles; they're probably even made in the same factory. One is the Garye Pro XL, the other is the Sport Beats Deft 1. You don't get a warranty with them, but paddles today are built really well anyway.

If you're wanting name brand, highly recommend the Vatic Prism Flash 16mm. You can get it for $99 on Amazon.
I'd recommend beginners to just go get a $10 kit off Amazon that comes with two fiberglass paddles and some balls. Then if you like it, buy some better ones and give the $10 ones to friends so they start playing too.

No. Fiberglass is old tech. You can get cheaper paddles that outplay this one

I'm not familiar with this specific brand, but a bunch of reddit pickleball players (inlcuding me) have bought juiciao among other brands from aliexpress and/or temu and a ton of these paddles are extremely solid and they do compare to the joolas, etc...fir a fraction of the cost


edit:
decided to try one of these despite already having another 5 or so cheap paddles Big Grin


edit:
canceled order. go , like masterz13 : says, for a paddle with t700

I just bought a juciao from aliexpress as well and it looks really promising... Not a lot of reviews but the people who have them love them.

this seems like the better deal for $33.

Takeya was Riley Newman's paddle sponsor for a while - but he left to go with XR - Takeya is a sponsor of the PPA for water bottles and only recently like within the past couple of years ventured into making a paddle - $33 isn't bad for this - however the fiberglass is old pickleball tech

I have the Vatic and Friday Pickle paddles as well as a SLK Halo and I love all of them but for sustainability and buying my whole family decent paddles that perform well in tournaments, league play and rec play - I highly recommend the Vatic or Friday both have held up and if in the future they should fail, it's not as expensive to replace as say some of the higher end paddles -- I haven't tried the Garye Pro but I will definitely look into them - always up for low cost but high performance paddles to put in my paddle rotation

I would check out Hudef paddles. They are on par with any of the other big name brands and offer a lifetime warranty. Their Mage Pro paddle is REALLY nice and can be had for about $85 with help from one of their ambassadors. Several of my neighbors bought a Mage after trying mine.
