Rank #1 in Best Pickleball Paddles 2026: 10 Ranked, From £29 to £100
JOOLA Fibreglass Pickleball Paddle Set, 2 Paddles, 4 Balls, Bag
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
JOOLA's Pickleball Paddles and Sets takes first place in this guide at £50.38, with 4.6 out of 5 from 909 customer ratings. It is a set rather than a single paddle: the bullets promise 2 paddles, 4 balls and a carry bag, and the spec table's Included Components line reads the same way — "Two Paddles, two outdoor balls, two indoor balls, one carrying case".
The number to read slowly is Item Weight: 907 g. Two paddles, four balls and a bag sit in that box, so 907 g is the parcel as listed, not what one paddle weighs — and the customer reviews describe the set as light and well balanced, which fits a parcel figure rather than a paddle figure. The same table also gives a Unit Count of 6.0 count for a set whose contents line lists seven items, and prints 4.5 inches in two separate fields, once as Size and once as Grip Size, in two different languages. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not tested these paddles ourselves.
How those 909 ratings break down

Questions people ask
How many paddles and balls are in the JOOLA set?
The bullets say 2 paddles, 4 balls and a paddle bag. The spec table's Included Components line reads "Two Paddles, two outdoor balls, two indoor balls, one carrying case" — the same seven items, although Unit Count is separately listed as 6.0 count.
Does the 907 g item weight mean one paddle weighs 907 g?
No. The listing covers 2 paddles, 4 balls and a bag, so 907 g is the weight of the whole package as listed, not a single paddle. Reviews describe the paddles as light and well balanced.
What grip size does the listing give?
4.5 inches, printed in two fields on the same page: Size as "4.5 インチ" and Grip Size as "4.5 polegadas".
What is the paddle face made of?
The JOOLA Blue Lightning bullets describe a fibreglass face over a honeycomb core, said to give a larger sweet spot and reduced vibration compared with wood and graphite paddles.
Is the set approved for play?
The product title says USAPA Approved, and the spec table lists the league as USA Pickleball Association (USAPA).
What warranty is listed?
A 180 Day Limited Warranty.
