Pickleball Paddle

The rules of pickleball are relatively simple, making it easy for beginners to pick up the game quickly.

The game can be played as singles or doubles, using paddles that are smaller than tennis rackets. The ball used is light and perforated.

The pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court, typically 20 feet by 44 feet (6.1 meters by 13.4 meters), which encourages fast-paced play.

The court has a non-volley zone (commonly called the "kitchen"), where players are not allowed to hit the ball unless it has bounced in this area. This prevents aggressive net play.

Pickleball paddles are lightweight and made from wood or composite materials like carbon fiber or polymer. They are smaller than tennis rackets.

The pickleball itself is similar to a wiffleball but made of plastic, with holes that provide flight stability.

The ball speed in pickleball is slower than in tennis or badminton, but it's fast enough to keep the game exciting. Players need to move quickly to react to shots.

The smaller court size and simple rules make pickleball particularly appealing for older adults, families, and anyone looking for a low-impact but still challenging sport.
