You know your game needs a twoey. These paddles can help you get there.
Drives. Resets. Blocks. Roll dinks. Disguised down-the-line speed-ups...
More and more, pickleball's faster, more aggressive new meta requires you to put two hands firmly on the paddle. And to comfortably do that, it helps to have a longer handle.
Standard pickleball paddle handle length lands somewhere in the 5" to 5.25" range. Anything over 5.5" is considered an extra long handle. And that's exactly what we're after.
Longer handles can increase a paddle's swing weight and power potential without sacrificing control or sweet spot. Above all, they provide the necessary room to add that all-important second hand when the situation calls for it.
Better yet, you're not relegated to an elongated shape when seeking a long-handled paddle. Plenty of hybrid and widebody paddles offer long handles as well.
There are lots of options if you're looking for such a paddle. Here are seven we've hit over and over and keep coming back to.
