If you are just getting into the sport, the Babolat XPLR Pickleball Paddle is a good paddle to start with. It features a manageable 7.8 ounce weight, polypropylene honeycomb core, and a fiberglass composite hitting surface. The fiberglass surface will flex a bit more than a carbon/graphite face which will result in more power. At 13 millimeters thick, the XPLR is very quick and easy to maneuver. This paddle is a lightweight and well rounded option for casual play, and it represents a strong value with the amount of technology present inside.
