Who it suits
- Heavy, 9.6 oz. Paddles of 8.5 oz and over are rarely a good start for new players and tire the arm faster (Paddletek); the finder hides them for players with arm trouble.
- Hybrid (shape estimated from the paddle's width). Between widebody and elongated; with a widebody, the shape to start with if you're undecided (Pickleball Effect).
- 5.5 in handle. Room for a two-handed backhand: 5.4 in or longer is what Pickleball Effect recommends (Pickleball Effect, PickleballUS).
- 4¼ in grip. Grips of 4⅛ in or larger tend to need less squeezing (Pickleball Effect); if it's big for your hand, there's no making it smaller, so try before you buy.
