Paddles Good - Balls Not Good
588615
I play ping pong daily... so I would consider myself an above average player. If you are like me, you can hit a mean top spin ball with your forehand... well you'll be lucky if these balls will hold up to more than 10 of those types of hit. I went through 6 balls in two days of use. The paddles seem to be good so far... I'll update this review if that changes.

We really like to package - the net is great. with the posts and included birdies, balls and paddles.  However, the first time we used one of the pickleball paddles broke after the first hit.  there must have been a defect in the wood, trying to work with Amazon/manufacturer to just replace the paddle as we do not want to replace the entire package.

Nice paddle, but not worth the price. I've played with many paddles and it played no better than $100 paddles. The rubbers are great but the blade is cheap and doesn't do the price justice.

Paddle is light weight and seems to be of good construction. I am just a beginner at Pickleball. Others in our group use Champion paddles.

After a couple hours of use the joystick randomly holds left slightly. I've had a similar issue with buying a knock off brand paddle

These are fun to use in and out of the water. You can uses the discs separately like a frisbee, or you can use them to bounce a ball back and forth. (Mine came with two balls, unlike another reviewer.) On land the ball seems tiny and you need to have kids who are either good sports or relatively skilled, but if not you can fall back on the "frisbee" side of the equation. Overall it's fun and easy to play.

My only complaint is that after about 15 minutes of light play, one of the discs started to come apart (the back ring holding the net in place started to unpeel, and is poking out; I keep poking it back in, but I'm guessing that it will fall apart after a month or two of moderate use.

pretty sticky, but it would prob be smarter to spend the extra 20 bucks for an extra sticky paddle.  give it an B+  not an A+

Seems like a great paddle to me. One time the rubber and foam started flapping away from the wood, near the tip of the paddle, when it was about a month old. I may have hit the table and rolled it back without realizing it. But I just pressed it back on (it was still sticky) and haven't noticed a problem in the month since. The rubber playing surface started out super sticky, but lost that pretty quickly. It's a decent paddle for a decent price.

I bought this because I have a 43 lb 12' board that I can't really manage with the built in grip. When I used it to get my board from storage to the water it was great! However, after my paddle when I tried to use it to get my board out of the water it didn't suction quite right and kept sliding as I was carrying the board. Even after I dried the board and the rubber with a towel it didn't work correctly. I have a fiberglass board, and it worked correctly the first time, so I'm dissapointed it didn't work when I really needed it to.

The paddle is extremely lightweight metal and the paddles themselves are thin plastic. I had my doubts, and rightfully so. The plastic snapped within a week on very low impact pressure (barely scrapped the sand on low tide). I don't expect to be able to jam them on a rock full speed a head, but paddles should be able to withstand a small amount of pressure. Still searching for the perfect paddle at a reasonable price. I've tried a bunch now.

Great paddles, the shaft seems a bit thin and the grips slide around at times but for the price I can live with that.

We were in need of some more pool games and this one looked fun.  The balls were very thin, light and flimsy.  My son poked a hole and filled them with a little water and the worked a lot better.  They were so flimsy initially that when we used them and then retrieved them they were dented from just hitting the blow up float.  My only suggestion is to provide better balls.  Otherwise, very fun game.

We purchased this November 2012 and have enjoyed the paddles. As of March 2015 the connector piece that hooks the paddles together has broken. Maybe I can just order that piece online somewhere. The paddles are sturdy, light, and comfortable to use. Great product for the price. I am just sad that it has broken already.

Got this set based on the other reviews.  don't waste your money!!!  the paddles are plastic and worthless the free wooden one offered at the courts we play at are twice as good as these.  They might work for someone who is playing with kids or someone who just wants to beat it around but for someone wanting to play the game not even close!!  Save your money.  I returned my set for mine back

**EDIT** - Raised from 2 to 3 stars. Customer service sent a replacement about 4 months after initial contact. Not great customer service but they did honor the warranty.

I have used this paddle almost weekly for 3 months on one mile lake trips to 15 miles river trips.

Pros - Orange color has high visibility and really sticks out on the water. Good length.

Cons - I recently noticed the paddle has a bend in it. Its not so bad that the paddle cannot be used but is certainly noticeable. I am not sure if it was damaged in the factory, transit or is bending from use. Either way I politely emailed the manufacturer a few weeks back asking if something like this was covered by warranty. I am going to assume it's not covered since they have not responded.

If it was not for the bend and lack of response from customer service on a paddle with a "lifetime warranty" I'd rate this paddle 4-5 stars as the price cannot be beat for the length.

These are great balls to use for intermediate use.  Have a good bounce and react to the paddle very well.

On the first day one of the paddles broke where the handle meets the paddle head. It is disappointing that it did not hold up longer than one day. Though the Stiga table has been great so far!
