Where to buy pickleball paddles?

[BettyCrocked]

Are there any local stores that carry them? I saw the vendor at LSL last night but didn't bite the bullet. I don't want to order online because I want to feel the grip and get one that's comfortable.
Also, is it better to go ahead and spend the $60-75 and get graphite? The composite ones they have at Saddle Brook are pretty destroyed so I guess those kind don't last very long?

We use the graphite ones sold at market night at the Square and are very happy with them. The vendor, in the past, has lent out demo paddles to test before you buy. Also, keep an eye on items for sale on TOTV for paddles. They are listed quite often.

ZZT Sports (http://www.zztsports.com/) They're plain white but play fine. $39 and up.

I have the EVO 2 and it's got a nice grip. PM me, we can meet and you can try it...

You can also go on line to PickleballCentral - FREE SHIPPING over $75 Best Pickleball Products at the Lowest Price (http://www.pickleballcentral.com) . Very helpful. But I do like buying local.

I purchased mine on line at Pickleballpro.com. They are full graphite $49.00 includes shipping and tax. Literally had ours the next day.

The softball store 'Softballs R Game' in the shopping center on CR466 between Publix and Crispers has pickleball equipment. Here's a link to their Facebook page

Ditto on ZZT Sports - no fancy graphics - quality aluminum core paddles at a direct-to-you price.
