Pickleball Now The Force Classic Lite Paddle

I started playing Pickleball with a wooden paddle. Other players graciously allowed me to borrow their paddles so I had the opportunity to play with many makes and models. After playing daily for about a month, I had a chance to play with this Pickleball Now The Force Classic Lite Paddle. It felt the best to me after having tried out at least 10 different paddles. After 3 months of daily play, I am very happy with this paddle. As a novice player, I was not willing to buy a very expensive paddle before I have really developed my skills. This is a medium weight paddle with a small grip that serves my purpose very well. My best advice is to play a full game with any paddle you may be considering and play with any paddle you can borrow. Pickleball players are a generous group and most players tend to have at least 2 paddles---the one they bought first and the second one they discovered they liked better after buying the first ;)! I would happily buy another one of these.

I bought this for my wife because she liked the graphic. the paddle itself is light and durable but the handle wrap and finish is not the quality I expected. I have bought two other paddles, both for less and they were built with better materials for the grip wrap and edging. The grip wrap on this looks like it is just finished with black electrical tape while the other paddles I bought had raised cushioned grips and the wrap was finished with a higher quality rubber retaining ring. This paddle is ok but I found that I could buy paddles built with better finishing for less. However the paddle itself functions as it should and is light weight and functional as advertised. I just don't think it is at the right price point considering the finish.

Paddle arrived today. It looks used. Scuffed and scratches on both sides. It is useable but looks like it came out of a demo bag. Not happy with the appearance at all.

Great paddle for the price (when on sale). Durable build, good power, a little heavier than my other paddles. A good paddle for windy days and singles.

happy for now

Nice racket. It did not seem as light as I expected it to be but now that I've used it many times it seems fine

Unfortunately the product had a few issues. The taping was not perfectly neat and has caused me to use it unevenly. The company is refusing to exchange or refund

STILL WAITING FOR THAT FIRST GAME
