FAQ

1. Which pickleball paddle is best for beginners?

If you’re new to pickleball, start with a lightweight paddle (7.3–7.8 oz) that offers great control and forgiveness. A polymer honeycomb core with a graphite or composite face helps absorb vibration and makes it easier to learn ball placement.
👉 Tip: Our custom beginner-friendly paddles combine comfort, control, and your own personalized design — perfect for learning with style.

2. Graphite vs. Composite vs. Carbon — which paddle material should I choose?

• Graphite paddles: Lightweight and responsive, great for quick reflexes and soft shots.

• Composite paddles: Offer a balance of power and control, often with textured surfaces for extra spin.

• Carbon fiber paddles: Premium performance — strong, durable, and powerful with a crisp feel.
  If you want the best of all worlds, our custom carbon fiber paddles provide professional-grade play and a design that’s uniquely yours.

3. How heavy should my pickleball paddle be?

• Light (under 7.5 oz): Great control, less fatigue, ideal for beginners.

• Midweight (7.5–8.2 oz): Balanced feel — most popular among players.

• Heavy (8.3 oz+): More power and drive for aggressive play.
  Choose your paddle weight based on your playing style — and remember, PickYoBall lets you customize both design and feel for perfect balance.

4. Are custom or personalized paddles worth the price?

Absolutely. Custom pickleball paddles not only reflect your style but also build team spirit and motivation. You get premium materials, a design that fits your identity, and a product made just for you.
Many players say having a paddle with their name or team logo makes games more fun, meaningful, and memorable — a perfect balance of performance and personality.

5. How do I choose the right grip size for my paddle?

The right grip ensures comfort, control, and fewer injuries.

• Small grip (4–4⅛"): Better wrist movement and spin.

• Medium grip (4¼–4½"): Balanced comfort and control.

• Large grip (4⅝"+): More stability, less twisting.
  If you’re unsure, start smaller — you can always add overgrip tape for a perfect fit.

6. What are the official pickleball rules (scoring, kitchen, line calls)?

Pickleball is typically played to 11 points, win by 2.

• Only the serving team can score.

• Players must stay out of the “kitchen” (non-volley zone) unless the ball bounces first.

• Balls that touch the line are in.
  For beginners, the USA Pickleball Rulebook offers an official guide. Or check our PickYoBall blog for simplified rule breakdowns and play tips.

7. How do I clean and maintain my paddle to make it last?

Use a soft damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat after play. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store your paddle in a protective case or pickleball bag to prevent scratches or warping.
Never leave it in extreme heat or cold — with a little care, your paddle can last years of consistent play.

8. Which pickleball paddle gives the most spin, control, and power?

• For spin, look for textured carbon fiber or composite faces.

• For control, try graphite or midweight paddles.

• For power, heavier carbon paddles are best.
  Our PickYoBall custom carbon series uses a textured face and balanced weight to maximize spin, control, and shot consistency — ideal for advanced play.
