We had the honor of playing with the OLANNY Pickleball Set last weekend in a social Pickleball game with our newbie Pickleball-playing friends. The OLANNY Pickleball set arrived at our doorstep in a complete set containing 4 multi-colored graphite paddles, 6 pickleballs, a sturdy carry bag and we appreciated the addition of four replacement grips.
We noticed that the lightweight beginner paddle can also be used by children, as our friends 11 year old daughter managed to play a few games without a hassle. She mentioned that the paddle was lightweight enough for her and the grip size was not too large for her smaller hands. Although this is clearly a economical beginner paddle, we experienced a solid dose of durability with the thin edge protection which protected the paddle when our friends daughter clipped the court surface.
Finally, we felt that the OLANNY Pickleball Set was not quite up to the standards of the MTEN Pickleball Set, but it is a sturdy enough option for casual players, and family and friends seeking a decent set to get on the court as soon as possible.
PROS and CONS
| PROS | CONS |
| Stylish paddle | Grip may be too small for some players |
| Lightweight easy-to-use paddle | Not for the better player |
| Comfortable grip and 4 replacements | Durability is questionable |
| Grip size perfect for children too |
Power
The OLANNY paddles were as powerful as the MTen, but did not reach the level of the JoncAye paddles. However, I was still impressed with the stregth of the face and the ball speed I generated using the OLANNY paddles.
Control
I had challenges defending against drives with this racket, as the ball popped off the face more often than not. I’d put that down to my shoddy defensive skills, but I mention this, because I seem to have more control with multi layered core’s that help me take speed off the ball.
Obviously this is an entry-level product and you get what you pay for. But, if you desire a more robust product I suggest reading our best pickleball paddle sets for beginners.
Durability
The durability of the OLANNY paddles, bag and balls is questionable, but that’s the reality of toying with entry-level products. If you play pickleball regularly I would suggest looking at a higher-end set like SLK Selkirk Pickleball Paddle Set. However, if you only play in the summer, you should get a couple years uese out of the set.
Sound
The OLANNY isn’t the quietest paddle I’ve tested, which is something to consider if your community has a zero tolerance noise policy.
Traction
The grip is tacky and cushioned, making it easy to firmly hold and control the paddle through every shot. I also noticed it’s slip resistant and did well to wick sweat from the surface.
Balls
OLANNY includes 6 outdoor balls in the set, which aren’t the best quality. However, they are good enough for beginners and you should get at least a season of use out of them. If you prefer playing better pickleball balls, I suggest learning about the Franklin X-40 balls.
Carry Bag
The carry bag is big enough to fit the paddles and balls, but it’s not the best quality bag, as you would expect from an entry level set. However, if you only play pickleball during the summer it should do the job for 2 to 3 years before wearing away.

Perfect For All The Family
As I mentioned previously, the OLANNY Pickleball Set is a wonderful option for all members of the family. In our experience, we managed to play with our grandparents, friends, and a few children of different ages without any challenges. One issue for my friend was the grip size because he has larger hands than normal, but he could still enjoy the game.

Although not the highest quality pickleball paddles on the market, they are tough enough to withstand various weather conditions, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor play, offering year-round Pickleball enjoyment.
