Bought four for the family
We set up a court in the driveway and these have survived kids, concrete and a dog. They play fine for rec games.

Rookie Rec Composite
$69.00
A durable widebody starter paddle with a polymer composite face, ideal for new players and family court time.
- Free shipping on orders over $75
- 60-day play test on every paddle
- 2-year warranty on core and edge
Rookie Rec Composite is where a lot of our players start. The wide polymer composite face is forgiving and tough, and at 7.4 oz it is light enough for anyone to swing all afternoon.
Why players love it
- Forgiving widebody face. An 8.0 in wide hitting surface makes it easy to get the ball back while you learn.
- Built to take knocks. The composite face and sealed edge handle concrete scrapes and garage storage.
- Comfortable grip. A cushioned 5.0 in handle with a sweat-absorbing wrap stays secure in summer heat.
- Honest price. Good enough to learn proper technique, affordable enough to buy a pair.
Made for beginners, school programs and rec play. When you are ready for more touch and spin, the Dink Club Fiberglass is the natural next step, and the Rookie becomes a great loaner for friends.

Customer Reviews
Good beginner paddle
Learned with this at a community center clinic and it was easy to hit with. After a few months I wanted more spin and upgraded, but it is now my loaner.

Does the job
Basic but solid. It is louder off the face than carbon paddles, which bothers my neighbors more than me.
