I'd recommend the Mayboom Pickleball Paddle Set to anyone new to the game. Forget those other basic sets—Mayboom brings quality to the table without the sticker shock. My advice is to skip the cheap wooden paddles. For newer players, a good fiberglass paddle like Mayboom is just the ticket. They give you way more control and spin for the price. Kudos for crafting a paddle set that steps up the game right from the start. The set is complete with a well-designed backpack and four balls—two for indoor play and two for outdoors. Everything you need to hit the court anytime.

My kids have been learning and playing pickleball in PE at school. I have never played pickleball a day in my life, nor had I even heard of it. Sitting around at dinner one kid says “you and me against the parents.” Wait what? Well, I can’t lose this, so I am all in. Step 1; need paddles (and learn what it even is). I start the research and learn you need a quality paddle, beginners tend to opt for fiberglass surfaces since it makes the paddles lighter than wood ones. These paddles: Check, very lightweight and very pretty. I love the blue and green colors, and they are the perfect (regulation) size. Step 2: You need to learn the rules to beat the kids - who learned at school. Check: This provides a great introduction/how to play booklet. Step 3: you need your own balls to bring to practice - and there is a difference between indoor and outdoor pickleballs (who knew?). This set: Check. It also came with a pack to hold all your pickleball accessories so you look like a Professional Pickle baller. The backpack is sturdy and spacious. The zipper is high quality and sewn well. This is a great all-in-one set, and if the challenge ever actually happens, I will update with the outcome. But overall I am very happy with this order.

The bag and paddles are so stylish, light, and convenient. I love that the set matches, including the balls. The bag even holds my large glasses case and of course my keys and phone. I even have room left over for a water bottle or camera!! Very cute set, definitely recommend!

For the price that included 2 paddles, 4 balls, carrying case and support documents I was impressed. It came tightly boxed up and paddles were in bubble wrap to keep from getting scratched. The paddles are a tad lighter and it’s slightly thinner than the Warrior Edge paddle I generally use but not a deal breaker for me. The paddle handle is slightly smaller around. It worked for me to get a solid grip but if your hands are large that may not be the case. Overall a decent set for any beginner wanting to learn without a huge initial investment. There was a notice included in the box that there may be a natural wear off of the pattern on the hitting surface. Time will tell if that happens.

I was looking at different types of paddles that were affordable and decided to give this one a shot due to the prime member discount. It was my first time using a fiberglass paddle and it is substantially better than the wood paddle I had! The spin was much better and I could hit with more power with the ball still landing in due to the spin! Great paddle for entry level players or those transitioning from tennis to pickleball!
