Product description

About this product

Blue Lightning Pickleball Set – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A two-player starter pack from JOOLA carrying Ben Johns’s signature: two paddles, four balls and a carry bag.

The genuinely useful thing about this set is the balls. It ships with two 26-hole indoor balls and two 40-hole outdoor balls – which means you can play in a gym or on an outdoor court without a second purchase, and it lets a new player feel the difference for themselves. Indoor balls have larger holes and softer plastic, so they are slower, quieter and easier to control on a smooth floor. Outdoor balls have smaller holes and harder plastic, because an outdoor ball has to hold its line in wind and survive a rough surface. Using an indoor ball outdoors cracks it quickly.

The paddles are fibreglass-faced over a polymer honeycomb core, which is the standard entry-level construction. Fibreglass flexes more than carbon, so it is forgiving and comfortable; carbon is stiffer, more precise and grips the ball harder for spin. For two people learning the game, fibreglass is the right choice.

The bag holds both paddles and the four balls and has a front mesh accessory pocket.

Two honest points. This is a recreational set, not a performance one – JOOLA publish no UPA-A or USA Pickleball approval for these paddles, so do not plan on using them in a sanctioned event. And JOOLA publish no weight, grip size or core thickness for the set, so we do not quote any.

Pickleball, not padel – the two sports are unrelated.

Questions

Good to know

Indoor or outdoor pickleballs - what is the difference?

Indoor balls have larger holes, usually 26 of them, and a softer, lighter plastic. They are quieter, slower, and easier to control on a smooth gym floor. Outdoor balls have smaller holes, usually 40, and a harder plastic, because an outdoor ball has to hold its line in wind and survive a rough court. Use an outdoor ball outdoors - an indoor ball cracks quickly on a hard court.

Is this set tournament legal?

No, and we would rather say so plainly. JOOLA publish no UPA-A or USA Pickleball approval for these paddles. It is a recreational starter set - excellent for learning the game and for social play, not for sanctioned competition.

Is padel the same as pickleball?

No, they are different sports and the equipment is not interchangeable. Padel is played on an enclosed 20 by 10 metre court with glass walls that are in play, using a solid perforated racket and a depressurised tennis-type ball. Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized open court with a flat unperforated paddle and a rigid plastic ball with holes in it. A padel racket is too heavy for pickleball and a pickleball paddle cannot play a wall.

Fibreglass or carbon face - does it matter?

Yes. Fibreglass flexes more, so it is forgiving of an off-centre hit and comfortable to play with. Carbon is stiffer, more precise and grips the ball harder for spin. For two people learning, fibreglass is genuinely the better choice; carbon comes later.

What does core thickness change on a pickleball paddle?

A thinner core - 13 or 14 mm - is stiffer, so more energy comes back as ball speed. It hits harder and feels more direct, at the cost of touch. A thicker core - 16 mm - deforms more on impact, which absorbs energy and gives a softer, more controlled feel with better dwell time for dinks and resets. Power players tend to 14 mm, control players to 16 mm.

What size is a pickleball court?

Twenty feet by forty-four feet, which is the same footprint as a doubles badminton court - 6.10 by 13.41 metres. The net is 36 inches high at the posts and 34 inches at the centre. The non-volley zone, the kitchen, extends seven feet back from the net on each side.

What is actually in the box?

Two paddles, four balls - two 26-hole indoor and two 40-hole outdoor - and a carry bag with a front mesh accessory pocket.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. Call or WhatsApp us if you need a same-day drop in the city.
