Are there pickleball sets designed for families or group play?
Another solid option is the Diadem Hero Starter Kit V2, which includes two paddles, two pickleballs, and a mesh bag for easy transport. Both sets provide everything needed for a fun and competitive game with multiple players.
Do you offer pickleball paddle bundles for experienced players?
This complete set includes a polypropylene honeycomb core for improved control, a textured surface for added spin, and a 3D perforated cushion grip for better handling. A large sweet spot also helps with accuracy, making it a strong option for players looking to level up their game.
How do I choose the right pickleball starter kit as a beginner?
- Weight of the Paddle. Choose a lightweight paddle (7.3-8.4 oz) for better control and easier handling as you learn proper techniques.
- Grip Size. Measure from your palm’s middle crease to your ring fingertip: 4.0" for small hands, 4.125-4.25" for medium, and 4.375-4.5" for large. A proper grip size improves comfort and reduces strain.
- Paddle Face & Core. Look for composite or polypropylene cores with a 7.5-8" width to maximize ball contact and durability. Larger sweet spots help beginners hit more consistent shots.
- Ball Selection. Indoor balls have smaller holes for precise control, while outdoor balls have larger holes for wind resistance. Most good value kits include 2-4 balls to get started.
- Storage & Transport. A pickleball bag with padding protects your gear and makes it easy to carry extra grips, balls, and accessories.
- Budget. Quality starter kits price range from $50-$100. Popular brands like Selkirk, JOOLA, and HEAD offer reliable beginner-friendly options.
Starting with the right equipment makes a huge difference in learning and enjoying the game. Look for a great starter kit that fits your needs and provides good value for long-term play.
What advantages do pickleball bundles offer new players?
One of the biggest advantages is cost savings. Buying a bundle typically costs 20-30% less, offering great value for new players who want quality gear without overspending. Plus, everything in the bundle is designed to work together, so you don’t have to worry about mismatched equipment.
These sets also take the guesswork out of shopping. Whether you're playing for fun or getting serious about the game, a starter bundle makes sure you have the right gear to start strong.
Are your starter kits good for both indoor and outdoor pickleball?
If you're playing outdoors, the Gearbox Ultimate Pickleball Starter Kit is a great option. It comes with GB1 outdoor pickleballs, which are made with harder plastic and have larger holes to handle wind and rough surfaces like concrete or asphalt. If you need something more versatile, the Diadem Hero Starter Kit V2 includes pickleballs that work for both indoor and outdoor play, so you can switch between court types without needing extra equipment.
The main difference between indoor and outdoor pickleballs is how they react on the court. Indoor balls are softer, lighter, and have smaller holes, giving you more control and a smoother bounce on gym floors or polished surfaces. Outdoor balls are made to be more durable, with a harder shell and larger holes to keep them stable in windy conditions.
No matter which set you choose, all of our paddles are USA Pickleball Approved, ensuring high-quality performance for any game. If you're unsure which kit is right for you, contact our team for assistance!
