Question 1

What is the difference between carbon fibre and fibreglass pickleball paddles?

Accepted Answer

Carbon fibre paddles offer a stiffer hitting surface that provides greater control, spin, and power — ideal for intermediate to advanced players. Fibreglass paddles have a softer face that delivers a larger sweet spot and more forgiveness, making them perfect for beginners. Pulse Pickleball offers both materials so you can choose the right paddle for your skill level.

Question 2

What is the ideal weight for a pickleball paddle?

Accepted Answer

Most players perform best with a paddle weighing between 220g and 235g (approximately 7.8–8.3 oz). This range balances manoeuvrability for quick net play with enough mass for powerful drives. All Pulse Pickleball paddles are designed within this optimal weight range.

Question 3

What is the best beginner pickleball paddle in Australia?

Accepted Answer

The Pulse Pickleball Espresso is one of the best beginner paddles available in Australia. Its fibreglass face and 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core provide a forgiving sweet spot and consistent power. Designed in Sydney, it ships Australia-wide with free shipping on orders over $150 and same-day dispatch.

Question 4

How do you play pickleball?

Accepted Answer

Pickleball is played on a court similar to a badminton court with a slightly modified tennis net. Players use solid paddles to hit a perforated polymer ball over the net. Games are typically played to 11 points (win by 2) and can be singles or doubles. The key rules include the two-bounce rule (the ball must bounce once on each side before volleys are allowed) and the non-volley zone (the 'kitchen'), a 2.1m area on each side of the net where volleys are not permitted. It's easy to learn and suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
