Most tennis players transitioning to smaller pickleball courts want a similar feel in their pickleball paddle as their stringed counterparts. Below, you will find some options that will have a similar shape, handle, and feel to a stringed racquet and will help former tennis athletes transition their skills to a new sport.
Paddle shape and handle length aren’t the only features you can adapt from tennis to pickleball. Stick with what you know and take the transition in stride by using a heavyweight pickleball paddle. Coming from tennis, most players are accustomed to swinging a racquet that is heavier than pickleball paddles. With that in mind, tennis players can typically start with a heavier pickleball paddle to give them a similar feel to that of their stringed racquet. Because of the heavier paddle, tennis players making the move to the pickleball court are able to use less effort and provide more power on each shot.
