Have Barb at LSL, let you try her favorite new racquet the Core-2.It has a blend of power and finesse,plus it's lightweight,so it's easy on your wrist and elbow.I have seen several players suffering from wrist problems and tennis elbow from playing lots of pickleball in TV.I changed from a heavier racquet to the Core-2 and have noticed less stress on my wrist and elbow.Don't even bother with trying a wooden racquet,i think the rec centers let you borrow them because they know that NOBODY, in their right mind, would ever steal one.The only benefit i received from using a wooden racquet, the one time,was to swat the bugs flying around the court.Good luck in your search,you will love pickleball,it's truly addictive.
