The Wood paddle is heavier. The Graphite Pro is similar to what most Pickleball players use.
Which one should you get? Depends on your goals.
The heavier Wood paddle is good for strength and stamina training. It's similar to using a donut on a baseball bat. Use the Wood for 5 minutes before a Rec or Tournament and when you use your regular paddle it feels super light in your hands. Your reflexes will be faster.
The Graphite practice paddle should be used for drilling game simulation play. Accuracy, placement and shot choices.
Which one should you get? My recommendation is BOTH if you are a serious pickleball player and want to drill for tournament and league play.
#1 - BE PATIENT. It's like learning to ride a bike. You didn't just hop on a bike and start riding. GO SLOW.
#2 - The Slam Master is going to CORRECT bad habits. It will FORCE YOU to watch the ball into the paddle.
#3 - SQUARE UP. Make contact IN FRONT OF YOUR BODY. Get rid of the big tennis swing!
#4 - If the ball comes in low - BEND YOUR KNEES and get UNDER THE BALL. DO NOT DRIVE THE BALL INTO THE GROUND. All your shots should be IMAGINARY NET HIGH. Anything below net high is a bad shot.
