I’ve always been more of a tennis girl, so I never fully hopped onto the pickleball wave. However, bored and wanting to get some exercise, I decided to hit the pickleball courts. Now I see why people are so in love with this sport! Since I didn’t have any paddles of my own, a friend let me borrow one of her Selkirk Pickleball Paddles, and I’m seriously considering getting my own, especially since they’re now on sale for 28% off on Amazon.
I’m no stranger to expensive sports equipment. Between paying almost $200 for my ice skates, over $100 for my tennis racquets and growing up playing several sports (luckily, my parents foot the bill for all of my soccer and track gear), prices can start to add up quickly. So, when I find a good deal, I grab it while it’s hot. At $94, this set of pickleball paddles might seem expensive, but with two paddles, three pickleball balls and a carry bag, you’re really getting your bang for your buck.
Designed for hitting and swinging, the paddles have a honeycomb core and a premium carbon fiber face that are durable and produce power with every hit. Each paddle is lightweight, at about eight ounces, and the raw spin technology makes for fast swinging and hitting on the court.
The pickleball balls are also incredibly light, with a 40-hole pattern and a crack-resistant molding process. The handles on the paddles are also easy to grip, so they won’t slip while you’re playing. Plus, the bag is spacious enough to carry both paddles and the balls.
With a 4.6-star rating and over 4,100 customer reviews, this Amazon’s Choice product is a fan favorite. “As a beginner with one hour of experience, these paddles are so comfortable and light. They are really good quality; not scared to hit the ball with power and to receive the ball when hit hard. It’s helped me in improving my game because of how light they are and the control they give you,” one reviewer wrote.
Another reviewer says it’s a “great beginner set,” comparing it to professional-grade brands. “Selkirk is a well-known pickleball paddle brand. Many of my professional buddies own the higher-end ones, so buying this brand was a no-brainer. Compared to the target brand, these paddles just feel better in the hand and move in the air faster.”
If you’re planning on hitting the courts before the weather outside is frightful, grab this set for just $94 or 28% off on Amazon. Along with this set, several other ones are also on sale right now!
