Mypickleball's note: If you don't know which paddle to get, get this! The Monster Planet Mars is a rare find for this price - a paddle with an elongated shape and long handle suited to tennis players, but with a 16mm core for absorption, touch and control. 16mm is the most commonly prescribed core thickness for touch and control at the net. The paddle will allow you to develop your game in your first year while you choose which pro-paddle (typically $225 upwards) and what level of pop (punch volley speed) will suit your game afterwards.
The frosted surface allows greater contact with the ball to impart spin and control. The core is constructed with polypropylene honeycomb and the face material is frosted Carbon Fibre that offers a superior combination of power, control and feel. This paddle provides great value for money. USAPA approved for sanctioned tournaments.
