Rank #3 in Best Pickleball Paddles 2026: 10 Ranked, From £29 to £100
VICLION Carbon Fibre Pickleball Paddles Set of 2 with 4 Balls
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The VICLION Carbon Fibre Pickleball Paddles Set of 2 sits third in this guide at £39.99, and it is the only entry here that puts two carbon fibre paddles, four pickleballs, two cooling towels and a carry bag in one box. It holds 4.5 out of 5 from 547 ratings, and the bullet describing the paddle itself gives 221–230 g.
What the listing does not settle is that weight. The same page's spec table reads Item Weight 218 g, which does not sit inside the 221–230 g range printed one bullet above it — and neither figure can describe the whole set, because two paddles, four balls, two towels and a bag do not come to around 218 g. The page also carries a 'Sport Racket String Installation: Unstrung' field, which is a racket field: a pickleball paddle has no strings to string.
Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing for this set, not from any testing we carried out.

Questions people ask
How many paddles do you get?
Two. The first bullet lists 2 carbon fibre pickleball paddles, 4 outdoor pickleballs, 2 cooling towels and a premium carry bag, and the Included Components field repeats the same set as Pickleball Paddle X 2, Pickleball Balls X 4, Pickleball Bag X 1.
How heavy is one VICLION paddle?
The listing gives two answers. The bullet reads 221–230 g, while the spec table's Item Weight reads 218 g — the two figures on the same page do not match.
Is the set USA Pickleball approved?
The second bullet says it is officially approved by USA Pickleball for tournament and recreational play. A separate field, League Name, reads USA Pickleball National Championships.
What grip size and dimensions does the paddle have?
Grip Size is listed as 4 1/4 inches, and Item Dimensions as 40L x 19.8W centimetres.
Does the set come strung?
The listing's Sport Racket String Installation field reads 'Unstrung'. A pickleball paddle has no strings, so this field appears to come from a racket template.
Why is the rating breakdown different from the rating count?
The listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 547 ratings, but the star breakdown printed alongside it totals 100 ratings: 65 five-star, 28 four-star, 3 three-star, 3 two-star and 1 one-star.
