Grip Size

Grip size is given as the circumference of the grip and is given in inches (in/"). It's best to match the pickleball paddle's grip to your own hand size. If unsure, opt for the smaller size. The grip can always be built up with a thicker grip, or even double wrapped, but a grip that is too large can't be made smaller..
Hand Size Grip Size
Small 4 inches
Medium 4.25 inches
Large 4.5 inches

Pickleball Paddle Weight

Weight is an important factor when choosing a paddle. Pickleball paddles can range from 6 to 14 ounces with most graphite and other composite paddles weighing from 6 to 9 ounces.
Weight influences how a paddle feels when you pick it up and swing it on the court. A heavier paddle will help you to drive the ball with power but might give you less control or “touch”. A lighter paddle won't provide as powerful a drive but should increase ball control and feel. So if you feel you need power then go heavier or if you need more touch then go lighter. If you're unsure then plump for a mid-weight paddle as that should give you enough power when you need it but still allow you to have the control and touch you'll need.

Weights are typically given in ounces (oz). The table below shows how we categorise pickleball paddle weights.

Weight Pickleball Paddle Category
7.6 ounces or less Light
7.7 - 8.2 ounces Medium
8.3 ounces or more Heavy

Core Thickness

The thickness of the pickleball paddle is typically measured in millimeters (mm) and varies from paddle to paddle. Many pickleball paddles come in two or more choices of thickness. The thicker a pickleball paddle's core, the more it can absorb the sting of the ball, offering greater comfort and shot control. A thinner paddle allows you to generate greater power, but will be less forgiving in terms of shot control and vibrations.

Thickness Ideal For Not as good for
16mm or more Shot Control and comfort Maximum shot power potential
14mm or less Power Comfort, less shock absorption

Material

Material Benefits Drawbacks
Carbon Highly durable. Maximum shot power potential. Premium pricetag.
