Two paddles with four balls can be purchased for under $50 and is a great way to start playing with a friend, family member, or partner. A wooden paddle set for four beginner pickleball players will cost about $60 and will likely include 4 to 6 beginner balls to get you started. The best pickleball paddle for beginners will be durable and help you get a feel for the game and provide consistency in the hitting surface. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Beginning of Pickleball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn the beginning, back in the 1960s, when pickleball was created, wooden paddles were what the first players used. Think about it like the history of skiing when the early skis were made of wood. Today, a lot of advanced technology has evolved the science behind the sport of pickleball. The advancements in manufacturing have involved graphite paddles that are lighter in weight and have a more active or reactive playing surface. With this advancement in materials and design, there are many pickleball paddles for beginners to choose from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe best pickleball paddle for beginners made of graphite will range in prices from under $40 dollars to pro-level paddles that may be in the $200 range. As a beginner playing pickleball, you may want to purchase a graphite paddle as the designs are more modern. The new technology will include specific elements that create the core or the inside of the paddle. Think of this like the strings on a tennis racket or the springs in your mattress. How much “bounce” you want will depend on the sophistication of the paddle core. This is generally where the price increases. The more expensive a paddle, expect to have more advanced technology used for the materials and design of the pickleball paddle. The best thing to do, no matter what, is to just grab a paddle you can afford now and start playing. Most players will purchase a few paddles over the course of playing to test out the paddle and to have for different styles of play.
