Pickleball set: Not had time to use them yet. This weekend will be the true test. But could have gotten the same thing at Walmart $25 cheaper

New to pickleball: Great starter set for pickleball newsies. Seems to be of quality material and feels better than the cheaper aluminum versions.

Great set: I purchased this pickle ball set as I am a new player. So far so good. I think it's perfect for beginners or anyone learning how to play. The paddles are not too heavy and have a pretty good grip. Love that there is a bag included to carry the paddles and balls. Would definitely recommend this set to others.

Better Than Expected: I bought this set to start playing pickleball with my son, the paddles have grit and are way better than the cheapo beginner ones you can get on Amazon. We’ve played a bunch of times and this set has not disappointed one bit.

Not the best: Not beginner friendly. Wouldn’t recommend these if you’re barely starting off. Paddles are super heavy. You can find lighter ones in the market than these. Would recommend others before choosing these.

Decent Set: My husband bought this set for my birthday and we just started using this set. The paddles are pretty small especially when you are trying to hit some shots. They seem to be pretty good quality. It's hard to compare to anything else since we just started playing pickelball. I like that fact that you get the bag and balls in a set.

Good value for the money: We’ve played a couple of times with the set and it is a good value for the money. The paddles aren’t to heavy even for a middle schooler.

Good entry level paddles. My favorite balls too: This was a great set to get started. The paddles are better than some of the other cheaper ones available, and the Monarch balls have turned out to be my favorite. They seem more firm in the hot sun than the Franklin x40s I bought. The paddles are noticeably heavier than others I have tried (Friday paddles, my friends rando Amazon purchases), but this doesn't take much to get used to.

Nice paddles for anyone that is just starting to play.: Solid paddles, good grit, face is a little small, and the grip is more flat than round. Good for a beginner.
