Wolfe Wooden Pickleball Paddle/Premium - Black

Good quality for an inexpensive pickleball paddle.

EXCELLENT price, but I get what you pay for! It’s a solid racket, but wooden paddles aren’t the norm! It’s a good racket for a beginner testing the waters. It’s solid, just not what you want long term. I bought this cheaper just to see how interested I was- a trial run. I love the sport and will now upgrade!

Used once for two hours and the grip handle is already unraveling! Disappointed with that. Has however a nice solid hit

Newbie at the game, enjoying it, but am in my 70's so not a very strong player. Was concerned when I saw how the neck/handle was seemingly attached to the paddle and it seemed a little flimsy, but did hold up well for the 3 times I have played so far. Comfortable grip for me as well.

Really nice grip, especially considering the price. Great extra paddle for friends if you decide to upgrade like I did after I got hooked.

Wood chipped and split first use...

Excellent quality for inexpensive raquet. A little heavy compared to composite. Very good for someone just starting to play. Be careful not to hit the edge on the ground as it's plywood and could splinter and degrade the raquet.

So far I am very happy with this paddle. It seems solid and well built. Some people comment on it being a bit heavier than the composite paddles, but I actually like that as it gives my backhand a little more power. I've played with both types and much prefer this wood paddle. The grip is excellent and feels great in my hand. I also get as good of spin on the ball as with any of the composites I've played with. If anything changes I'll let you know, but great so far!
