Spurtia Pickleball Paddles Set of 2 USAPA Approved Fiberglass with Balls, Grip Tapes and Carry Bag Review (2026)

Who this Spurtia set is built for

This set suits two beginners who want to start playing together without buying paddles, balls and a bag as separate purchases. Because both paddles carry USAPA approval, the set also works for newer players who plan to eventually join organized league or tournament play and do not want to worry about their gear being legal once they get there. The honeycomb core and fiberglass face are aimed at players who want a paddle with a forgiving, cushioned feel rather than the stiffer, faster response that more advanced carbon fiber paddles offer. Players who already have some experience and want maximum control on dinks and resets will likely find the fiberglass face a step below what they are used to.

Materials, sizing and what is in the box

Spurtia builds these paddles around a honeycomb core meant to absorb vibration on contact, faced with fiberglass that the brand says adds spin to shots, paired with a design intended to cut down on the sharp popping sound some paddles produce. Paddle size runs 15 to 16 inches long by 8 to 9 inches wide, with a grip circumference of about 4.25 inches wrapped in a cushioned, sweat-resistant material. The set includes one paddle sleeve for protection, a carry bag, and a mix of two indoor and two outdoor pickleballs, four balls in total, so both players can start a game without needing to buy balls separately.

Setting up and living with the set

There is no assembly beyond pulling the paddles from their sleeve and grabbing balls from the included set before heading to the court. The spare grip tapes that come with the set are a practical touch, letting a player refresh a worn handle rather than replacing the whole paddle once the factory grip starts to wear thin or peel from sweat. The carry bag keeps both paddles, the sleeve and the balls together between sessions, which matters for players who are still building out a full pickleball bag setup. Because both paddles share the same fiberglass build, there is no mismatch in feel between the two players using the set.

How it stacks up against other beginner sets

In the site's beginner paddle guide this Spurtia set ties for first of eight at 8.4, level with two separate USAPA approved carbon fiber sets that also include four balls, a bag and grip tapes. It ranks ahead of a fiberglass set with cooling towels at 8.0, an Outdoor Cruiser fiberglass set at 7.8, and another fiberglass set marketed for both beginners and pros at 7.6. The tied carbon fiber rivals use a stiffer, more advanced face material, so while this Spurtia set matches them on score, players chasing carbon fiber's extra control on soft shots should weigh those two options directly against it.

Bottom line and who should pick something else

Choose this Spurtia set for a complete, tournament-legal way to get two beginners started, with the added convenience of spare grip tapes and both indoor and outdoor balls included. It sits at the top of the site's beginner guide for good reason, balancing a forgiving fiberglass face with genuinely useful extras. Players who already know they want the stiffer, more responsive feel of carbon fiber should look at the two tied carbon fiber sets in the same guide instead, since they share this set's score while offering a different face material built for finer control as skills advance.
