Review of the PICKGO Pickleball Paddle Set
As a passionate pickleball player who enjoys both recreational and competitive play, I’m always on the lookout for gear that can enhance my experience on the court. Recently, I got my hands on the PICKGO pickleball paddle set, which includes two T300 carbon fiber paddles, along with indoor and outdoor pickleballs and a carrying bag. With the paddles being USAPA approved, my expectations were high, especially since I wanted something that combined affordability with performance.
Right off the bat, one of the features that stood out to me is the paddles’ lightweight design. Weighing only 8.1 ounces, they really are easy to maneuver, allowing for faster strokes and reducing hand fatigue during longer playing sessions. The wider paddle surface, measuring 16.42 inches in length and 7.4 inches in width, creates a large sweet spot, which is a great advantage, especially for those just starting out. During my games, I found this trait incredibly beneficial; I was able to strike the ball with surprising precision, even on my less-than-perfect swings.
A major selling point is the carbon fiber construction, which provides an excellent balance between power and control. As noted in several comments, including one from a fellow player, the paddles excel in enhancing shot quality without feeling overly heavy. I found that I could deliver powerful serves while maintaining enough control for deft volleys at the net.
However, no product is without its drawbacks. While the quiet composite PP honeycomb core is a thoughtful feature aimed at minimizing noise levels on the court, I did notice that the indoor balls weren’t very effective outdoors; they tended to get blown around by the wind. This led to some frustration, especially during windy days. Additionally, as another reviewer pointed out, I wish the set came with more than just two balls; having only two usable balls can be inconvenient during longer practice sessions.
Another thing to note is the carrying bag that comes with the paddle set. While it’s handy, I found it a bit cramped for all the components. Upgrading to a larger bag might be wise if you plan on bringing extra gear or a larger number of balls.
In terms of value, this set offers exceptional quality for the price. It caters to players of various skill levels—whether you are a beginner or someone with more experience. I felt comfortable using these paddles during competitive play as well as casual matches with friends. The combination of comfort, balance, and affordability resonates with what many players—including myself—look for in their gear.
On a personal note, the grip of the paddles felt ergonomic, allowing for extensive play without discomfort. This was a relief, especially since my hands tend to tire during long matches. The paddles’ durable edge guards have also shown promise in protecting the paddles from scuffs and scratches over time.
Overall, I’d rate the PICKGO pickleball paddle set a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. The pros, including their lightweight nature, the large sweet spot, and a great balance of power and control, far outweigh the cons. While the indoor balls weren’t the best for outdoor conditions and the carrying case could use some improvement, these issues are minor compared to the overall quality and performance.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a reliable starter set that won’t break the bank but still performs well in a variety of settings, I wholeheartedly recommend the PICKGO paddle set. It’s a fantastic option for players seeking to elevate their game while enjoying the nuances of pickleball. Whether you’re stepping onto the court for a relaxed game or gearing up for something more competitive, these paddles will serve you well!
