Pickleball Paddle - Raw Carbon Fiber & 10mm Honeycomb Core - Ideal for Indoor & Outdoor Play - Great for Beginners - Women, & Men - Comfortable Racket Grip at 4.8” - Lightweight

I own almost 10 pickleball paddles. Many are name brand paddles that cost up to $250. I tried this paddle just to compare and I find it to be a really great paddle for someone starting out in pickleball. It is well made, balanced and feels good in your hand. I played an entire season with it (and won!). I would definitely recommend this paddle to anyone just getting started in the game.

The Duckz Pickleball Paddle is a cute, colorful beginner/intermediate paddle. It is not raw-carbon as the seller suggests as it has a colored, finished surface. I'm not sure if this paddle is actually fiberglass or graphite-carbon but is certainly is not raw carbon.Overall construction and finish of the Duckz Pickleball Paddle is very good. The actual color is more baby-blue than the aqua-blue shown on Amazon. The 10mm construction is thinner than I prefer or generally recommend but it's still quite suitable for an entry level paddle.The paddle is relatively lightweight (mine weighs 7.50z) and feels fairly well balanced with only a slight amount of tip weight noticeable. Play performance is good but not exceptional in any manner; it performs comparably to similarly constructed paddles.In my opinion, the price of this paddle is a bit high, selling for $10-$20 more than similarly constructed paddles I've tested and reviewed.

The media could not be loaded. Great mid-tier paddle! I play at the 3.5-4 level, I had experience in other racket sports before picking up pickleball, and I’m sure you’d need something better if you’re a pro, but I have no intentions of going pro, so this works perfect for me. Have played dozens of games at this point and it shows no signs of falling apart. I’d highly suggest someone buy this, even for a beginner for their first paddle, because if you buy anything of lesser quality you’ll be immediately upgrading, I bought some cheap-o plywood 4 pack, and then ended up buying this one shortly after because I needed to upgrade, but honestly don’t see myself upgrading from this one for a while. After buying the light blue went ahead and got a pink as well. Images of the blue one attached, but the colors are true to the photos, so what you see is what you get.

Nice paddle. My daughter loved the color and the little duck. Its a very light paddle with a good feel. Does not have a gritty face surface.

I found this paddle to be a good transition between an entry level fiberglass and a growing player not ready to spend the money needed for a carbon fiber paddle. Plays nice with a good combination of control and power. Nothing unique with this paddle, basic construction and look to it. However, it gets the job done without breaking the bank.
