Hi guys!

Claire here, would like to ask for advice from fellow members. We have a nice couple near us who got interested in pickleball and happen to have a room to play. We brought our paddles to them, but now it's kinda problematic, so I decided ordered a nice set for them.
Me and my hubby were playing for a while since 2019, but our experience is still pretty limited. So.

- what features should a beginner look for?
- any features we should look for while choosing paddles for seniors? Smaller grip?
- what paddle would you recommend? From what I found , Selkirk and Gamma are considered to be the best.

Mine is not that great (chinese no name bought at Costco), and since they're seniors I believe they could choose something more lightweight. But I'd like to hear personal experiences (from you or your family members), too.

Hi Claire! I'd be happy to offer some advice on selecting pickleball paddles for beginners and seniors.

For beginners, there are a few key features to look for in a pickleball paddle:

Weight: A lighter paddle (typically between 6-8 ounces) can be easier to maneuver and control, making it a good choice for beginners.

Size: Pickleball paddles come in different sizes, but the most common is 8 inches wide by 15-1/2 inches long. A larger paddle can offer more surface area for hitting the ball, which can be helpful for beginners.

Grip size: A comfortable grip is essential for good paddle control. Most paddles come with a standard grip size, but some brands offer options for smaller or larger grips.

When choosing paddles for seniors, it's important to consider any physical limitations they may have. A smaller grip size can be easier for seniors with arthritis or other hand/wrist issues to hold onto. A lighter weight paddle can also be easier for seniors to handle.

As for specific brands, Selkirk and Gamma are both well-regarded in the pickleball community. However, there are many other quality brands out there as well. It's ultimately a matter of personal preference and budget.

I hope this helps! Enjoy playing pickleball with your neighbors.
