A true beginner’s paddle, the PCKL Launch Series provides everything a new pickleball player is looking for control, a wide surface, some texture, a comfortable grip, and lighter weight. We’d recommend this paddle for players who are casual and don’t plan to get competitive but still want a fun and comfortable pickleball experience. Plus, this paddle gets extra points for design!
Price
The PCKL Launch Series paddle is priced on the lower end of the spectrum for beginner-intermediate paddles at $64.99.
While this might be too much for the first-time player, compared with other beginner paddles we feel the price is justified.
Performance
The Launch Series provides the type of performance you’d expect for a quality beginner’s paddle. It is a massive step up from the plastic or wooden paddles you can find on Amazon for a quarter of the price, but shouldn’t be mistaken for paddles designed for competitive play.
The lack of weight makes this paddle ideal for quick at-the-net reactions and does provide some power and a bit of grit for spin. The sweet spot feels larger than expected. This is an ideal paddle for a beginner who wants more than their basic paddle without crossing the $100 mark.
