The Franklin X-1000 Pickleball Paddle is a great value from a well-known brand. It features an 8.25" composite fiberglass face which widens its sweet spot and helps you block better at the kitchen line.

With a 7.7-8.2 oz weight and 5" handle, the X-1000 has a mid-level swing weight and a medium-sized (4.25") handle with ridges for grip. Approved by USA Pickleball, the X-1000 features a large sweet spot and powerful striking surface for every level of pickleball! Grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
