Is it better to have a lighter or heavier pickleball paddle?

by cheng sangzi 12 Jan 2023

It might make sense to prefer the lighter Pickleball paddle, but heavier paddles also have their advantages. Opinions were divided. Which weight option is the better choice?

The lighter pickleball paddle is ideal for players looking for control and finesse. It's light, but you have to swing hard, which can put strain on your joints. Heavy paddles are powerful but lack control. They tire their wrists quickly and prefer aggressive playstyles.

Player preferences often make players unique. with some opponents being more difficult than others. Let's examine these differences. Especially the paddle weight. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each. Impact that affects your performance on the field. and details to help you make the right decisions for your game.

When considering the paddle weight You should remember that the top of the paddle is the heaviest. (Heavy head) and bottom is the heaviest. These weights add up to the swing weight of the paddle.

The concept of swing weight is very important. as it can affect the arm It depends on the torque behind the paddle during the swing.

The swing weight of the paddle is the total weight plus the weight of the paddle head. When the two factors are combined, This will give you an estimate of the swing weight that needs to be considered.

It is important to distinguish that the swingweight is not the same as the total mass of the paddle. One is head-heavy (top-heavy) and the other is hand-heavy (bottom-heavy).

Longer paddles tend to have heavier clubheads than shorter paddles. As a result, the swing weight is heavier. Swinging a heavy paddle in the air exerts much more force than a lighter paddle. For example, a paper paddle doesn't produce nearly as much power as a graphite paddle.

In such a case A stronger shot produces more torque and resistance between the golf ball and the paddle. So the impact is likely to hit your hands, wrists, forearms and elbows if you play for long periods of time. your hands will get tired. Get tired faster and you could get injured.

If you choose a pickleball pie that's too heavy (say, 10 ounces), you'll fail.

So you want to find a size that fits within the weight range of the paddle. The most effective way to find your ideal paddle weight range is to try different paddles. model as much as possible Why not ask a friend or loved one who has this collection?

Once you've found a paddle you like. Do some research online to find its weight range and write it down. Then play with paddles that are too heavy or not comfortable. and follow the same steps to observe the weight range. This process will help you determine which weights are too light and which are too heavy for you.
