Understanding Your Pickleball Play Style

There are three major styles of play within the game of pickleball. Let’s review them in the context of picking a great pickleball paddle. Then, we’ll cover two more important player categories.

Control. You’re focused on putting the ball in the best position possible to get an edge on your opponents. For increased control, look for:

• Shorter handles
• Wide paddle face
• Carbon pickleball paddle surface
• 16mm core

Balance. You blend speed and power to fully round out your game. For a balanced play style, look for:

• Standard or midsize handle
• Pick the paddle face shape that you like best
• Hybrid pickleball paddle surface
• 14mm core

Power. You blast the ball to keep your opponents on their toes. For a power-focused play style, look for:

• Longer handles
• Elongated paddle face
• Fiberglass pickleball paddle surface
• 13mm core

Beginner. You’re just getting started and haven’t decided on your personal style of play. Our recommendation is to try a variety of paddles and potentially start with a balanced paddle. You’ll learn more about how you like to play with more experience.

Kids. Pay attention to grip size and weight when choosing a pickleball racket for a youth player. If the handle length is too long or the paddle is too heavy, it can put too much strain on a younger player. Aim for a lighter-weight pickleball paddle with a shorter grip.
