High Quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first want to say that I received this product in exchange for my review. I have used this a few times on the pickle ball court. It is a smaller handle for children which is nice. The paddle size is the same as an adult paddle size. The only difference is the handle size, which is probably an inch smaller than a normal adult paddle.the quality is high, and well made. I am happy with it.

Nice Paddle
