Whether you are playing pickleball near the beach or just want to bring that positive vibe to the courts, the Recess Zuma pickleball paddle has got you covered either way. But don't let the attractive cosmetic fool you, the Zuma paddle's function and all-court capability surpasses its form. The compact/wide body shape and 7.8 ounce weight makes the Zuma ideal for entry-level to intermediate level players who want an easy to swing paddle with a good blend of power and control. Much of the power and comfort is derived from its 14mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core along with the Zuma's sub 8 ounce weight. And rounding out its versatile performance with control, excellent spin potential and durability is the use of sanded/textured Fiberglass hitting surfaces.
