If you’ve been looking for a fun, engaging, and community-oriented sport to try, look no further than pickleball! This rapidly growing sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, and it’s taking the courts by storm. Lucky for local residents, Kinetic Racquet Sports is hosting an exciting pickleball demo program right here in Glendora.
What is Pickleball?
For those unfamiliar, pickleball is played with a paddle and a perforated plastic ball on a court smaller than a tennis court. It’s a game that’s easy to learn but challenging enough to keep players coming back. Whether you’re young or young at heart, pickleball is a great way to stay active while socializing with friends and neighbors.

Things to Consider When Selecting a Pickleball Paddle
Choosing the right pickleball paddle is essential for improving your game and maximizing enjoyment. Here are key factors to keep in mind:
Weight: Paddles typically range from 6 to 14 ounces. Lighter paddles offer better control and are easier on the wrist, while heavier paddles provide more power.
Grip Size: The circumference of the paddle’s handle should match your hand size for comfort and control. A smaller grip allows for more wrist action, while a larger grip reduces strain.
Material: Paddles are made from materials like wood, composite, or graphite. Wood paddles are budget-friendly, composites offer a balance of power and control, and graphite paddles are lightweight and highly responsive.
Shape: The shape of the paddle affects its sweet spot. Wide paddles have larger sweet spots, making them ideal for beginners, while elongated paddles offer extended reach for advanced players.
Brand: Reputable brands such as Bread & Butter, CRBN, Engage, Holbrook, Honolulu, Joola, Paddletek, Selkirk, Six Zero, and Synergy provide high-quality paddles with varying features to suit different play styles.
