Do pickleball paddles really make a difference?

by sangzicheng 13 May 2023

Pickleball paddles are one of the most important pieces of equipment in the entire game. It can have a big impact on how you play. and how you feel after the game The more popular Pickleball is, the more The more spatula you can choose. So how do you know which paddle is right for you?

Three important things are weight, handle size and material.

 

weight

Weight is one of the most important factors when choosing a paddle.

In fact, weights fall into the same category as "feel." How does it feel when you pick up the paddle? How did you feel holding it throughout the game?

Pickleball paddles range from 6 ounces to 14 ounces, with weight affecting power and control. A lighter paddle means more control. On the other hand, a heavier paddle means less control but more power and propulsion. Perhaps most importantly, heavy paddles can strain your elbows and strain your arms.

We recommend starting the paddle not too hard until you build strength, however, this is a bit of a catch-22. Weak arm power means you need more help to maneuver the ball with real power, so consider choosing a club. Medium-weight paddles between 7 ounces and 8.5 ounces. You may still want to go lighter. But consider this: the lighter the spatula, It takes more force and centrifugal force to hit the ball with more effort. This may cause injury or damage. may hurt more

Handle size

The next thing to pay attention to is grip size.

Choose the handle size to fit your hand. A paddle with a handle that is too large can slip and injure your hand. The smaller grip means more wrist movement for better control and turning. The bigger the grip, the more stability.

But how do you know which grip size is right for you?

The quickest and easiest way to find out your grip size is to look at your height. This method is not as accurate as other methods. that must be measured and printed by hand But it's easy and effective for most people.

If you are less than 5'2" tall, you need a 4" handle.

If you're between 5'3" and 5'8", use a 4 ¼" handlebar.

If you're 5'9" or taller: Use a 4 ½" grip.

Try using a different spatula if possible. If you hesitate between two sizes It is safer to choose a smaller size. If you decide later that it is too small You can easily add grip tape to make it bigger.

If you are able to use multiple paddles and can hold each paddle with a normal grip. Slide the index finger of your other hand between the tip of your finger and the heel of your grip. If the spatula is the right size It will fit snugly on your finger without moving it.

material

Pickleball paddles are made from three main materials: wood, composites, and graphite.

The paddle is the heaviest and cheapest paddle. New players or those who are insecure about investing in gear may be tempted to buy a paddle. That's fine, but weight matters.

Mixing pies is a medium of happiness. They are moderately priced but come in a variety of sizes and weights.

Graphite is the most expensive, however, it can be lightweight and powerful.

The best way to choose a paddle is to try a few and see which one works best for you and helps your game. If this is not possible Use a medium-weight spatula with a suitable handle size made of a composite material. You'll get a good paddle and discover what to look for in the future!
