Coach's Tip on the HEAD Kickstarter Blue

 
The HEAD Kickstarter Blue is undoubtedly the ideal paddle to start playing pickleball without making a mistake. Its featherlight weight, forgiving fiberglass surface and 15 mm polypropylene core form a perfectly balanced trio for learning the fundamentals with enjoyment. It is particularly suited to beginner or recreational adult players looking to improve quickly without investing in a technically demanding paddle. At €40, the value for money is excellent.
