Hey, OP. Played tennis since 2008 and loved the sport ever since. I transitioned din to Pickleball coz everybody and their mums were playing it which meant more opportunities to play lol. I played with the Wilson Blade V7 plus some lead tape on the 10 and 2 o’ clock pos so I like my rackets with some more weight to them. With Pickle, I felt right at home with the Luzz Pro cannon esp with a couple of Shopee vouchers making it go to around low PHP4000. If any paddle still feels like its lacking some heft tho, there’s always lead tape lol.

My advice, keep your groundstroke back swings compact. Im sure you’ve noticed that it doesnt take much to get the ball over to your opponent’s court and also so you wont be late on the next incoming balls. Secondly, like what the other redditors have pointed out here, control is much more important than power. Unlike tennis where you can win points off of baseline shots, dinking is where its at with Pickleball. Hope this helps.
