And if you get good at pickleball -- like, really good -- this racket is approved by the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) for tournament play.

Says one Amazon reviewer: "This paddle is built well, is a nice weight, I can really get on the ball with top or back spin. And it's easy to control the ball to where I want it since I don't feel like I'm choked up on the paddle as much since the handle is longer."
