Brooklyn Pickleball Co Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle ($30)
A chic paddle with a comfortable grip, this lightweight honeycomb-core paddle has a non-slip cushion grip to keep your hands feeling good as you play.
What reviewers say: Shoppers say this paddle is both stylish and high-quality. "This is a great looking pickleball paddle. We got this for my wife, and she really likes the color and pattern, and has gotten a lot of compliments on the paddle when we've played pickleball with friends," one player wrote. "Shots leave the paddle face uniformly and the paddle has good control."
Why we love it: This paddle looks great, but it's also one of the few affordable carbon fiber paddles we've seen, if you're looking for something other than fiberglass.
What's worth noting: Although the paddle is advertised for beginner and intermediate players, shoppers say it's best for beginners. Also, because it's a smooth paddle, it's not the best for adding spin.
