If you are new to racquet sports and just want to hit around with friends, a <$15 amazon, walmart, target fiberglass paddle will suffice. Even sets with 4 paddles with balls for ~$50 is fine. It gets the family and friends outdoors and provides entertainment. Great for kids, friends, or family weekend. Great cheap and easy way to get friends and family outdoors. Easier than tennis to pick up. The small court size, simpler ball movement (less bounce, spin, speed, power), paddle/racquet length (shorter and easier to coordinate hand/eyes) make this a fun and easier game. Having a set of 2 or 4 allows to bring a match to any court, parking lot, drive way, etc. I was proficient enough with racquet sports to keep up and play a decent game but noticed my drops, spins, and control were limited by my paddle. My kids still use these and damage them all the time. These are great for introducing new players.

That said, I would not pay more than $12 for something like this. There are plenty of rec/public park paddles that can be found for cheaper on amazon. At $25 you can start venturing into generic T-700 carbon face, 16mm thickness gen 1.5 paddles.

PM me if you have more questions or would like specific recommendations or links.
