VERSIX Strike 4F, Fiberglass Composite Face, Polypropylene Honeycomb Core, USA Pickleball Approved, Lightweight, Entry-Level/Intermediate

Purchased the VERSIX Strike 4F Composite Pickleball Paddle for my wife, who is a beginner Pickleball player. She loves it. Lightweight! Recommend this racket.

Game changer for me! I am a paddleball beginner, the grip on the paddle I was using was just to big for my hand and it took a lot of effort and grip strength to hold on to because I have a small hand. I bought the Versix Strike 4 because it has a small grip and is slightly lighter than my previous paddle. I have only used the paddle twice, but have noticed that it takes much less effort for me to use and I have more control with my shots. It also has a slightly longer, like maybe a 1/4 inch, handle which seems to help me keep my wrist from "flopping" around resulting in less out of bound shots. NOTE: this is listed as a lightweight paddle, I've noticed that I need to put a bit more force behind it on some shots, it does have a nice "sweet spot" though that I'm getting better at finding. Seller on this paddle is PickleBall Central, I would encourage going to this site where they have lots of information on how to find a paddle for individual specific needs.

Bought this for my nephew whose latest craze is pickleball, and it's his dream come true. He is 11 but very small for his age (probably 9 year-old size).Really appreciate that it arrived in a few days in spite of the Christmas rush, thank you for that!

The only suggestion I would make would be to have a somewhat 'meatier' handle which, I believe would provide a more balanced paddle. Small change but worthwhile, I think.

I’ve used more expensive Onyx paddles and truly can’t tell much of a difference. Granted, I’m still a beginner, but these paddles are fantastic. Especially for the price.
