Review on ๐Ÿ“ Franklin Sports Pickleball Beginner Set by Jesse Hughes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good set for sports

Today I opened it for the first time. To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of torn on my opinion. Advantages: - Easy assembly. My 7 year old son got tired of waiting for me and figured it out himself. Parts simply snap together, no tools required. It is easy to install and disassemble at any time. In fact, the mesh is stronger than I expected. It's tight, and since the bars are metal, it's perfect and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Cons: - I'm not a pickleball expert, but I've played a few times. These balls and racquets are cheaply made and definitely not the ones we will be playing with. Balls feel flimsy and of lower quality than the ones I've played with. The paddle is just a single piece of wood sandwiched between two handles. They aren't glued together tightly, so the paddle will rattle when it hits the ball. - The grip tape on the handle came off within the first few minutes of use. Overall I'd say I'm happy with the net and would probably hang around with paddles and balls to use as backups when there's literally no other option. Given that this is half a dish you will likely get what you pay for and the quality you expect. It is perfect for the garden and ideal for children. So if that's your goal, buy it. But if the goal is a real marinade experience, I'd say keep looking.
