According to one user, it comes with "great beginner paddles" that will "last you a while" and "elevate your game."
The paddles are "lightweight, relatively quiet," and offer "great control," they say. Plus, "you can be very precise" and "generate good spin."
The paddles have a "solid feel when hitting the ball" and offer "good control" of the "strength and distance of your shots," echos another shopper. "I highly recommend" this set for a "relatively inexpensive, good quality, and durable" set of pickleball paddles, they write.
Earning top marks for maneuverability, comfort, and value, several shoppers remark the A11N set is an "excellent value."
'I don't think you can beat the price'
"I don't think you can beat the price' of the paddle's "graphite surface and polymer core," writes one shopper.
A11N's paddles perform "as well as" paddles that "cost considerably more," says another.
Despite hundreds of five-star reviews, some shoppers mention the balls are "relatively soft," so they "bounce really high."
They're "great for beginners," writes one shopper, but "consider buying some 'pro' ones" if you want "to get serious."
The verdict
If you're looking to take up a new hobby this summer that's both fun and affordable, pickleball might be for you. Perfect for beginners and players of all ages, Amazon shoppers say this budget-friendly set performs "as well as" sets that "cost considerably more."
