adidas Match and Match Light 2025 Pickleball Paddle

Light a fire under your newfound love of pickleball with the confidence-inspiring adidas Match 2025 Pickleball Paddle. This beginner friendly paddle punches well above its price point thanks to its forgiving wide body shape, spin-happy hitting surface, and its long-lasting core. The 15.5” x 8.125” dimensions feel like a shield near the net, enabling us to fight off players dinks long enough for them to make a mistake. Once they make a mistake, near the kitchen line or elsewhere on the court, then we trust the fiberglass hitting surface with its impressively soft feel, long lasting Spin Blade Grit technology, and surprising pop to help us punish it with a spinning shot that paints the lines.

The adidas Match 2025 Pickleball Paddle and its 7.8-ounce Match Light iteration, backs up its accessible feel and poppy hitting surface with the consistency of a 14mm LD Polypropylene Honeycomb core. This core is designed to help you elevate your game through a soft feel, a wide central sweet spot, and just enough pop to reward precise strikes. Finally, the short 4.75” handle keeps our hand close to the sweet spot to encourage center strikes and allow us to reload quickly during hand battles.

Depending on your experience and desired feel, the Match is available in a regular 8.0-ounce and a “Light” 7.8-ounce version. The 8.0-ounce iteration will offer a little more plow through, while the “Light” will increase maneuverability.
