Beach tennis paddles are solid — no strings, no grommets — so fit comes down to two things: how the handle sits in your hand, and how much mass you want to swing. Match your game to the row below and start there. Between two options? Size the grip down and add an overgrip, and lean lighter on weight until your timing settles.
Open your hitting hand flat. Line a ruler along the crease that runs across your palm and measure to the tip of your ring finger. Under 3¾" points to Small, around 4" to Medium, and past 4¼" to Large. When in doubt, size down — an overgrip adds an eighth of an inch and you can’t take size away.
Lighter paddles are faster to react at the net and easier on the wrist — a friend to newcomers and to anyone playing three-hour sessions in the heat. Heavier, head-heavy builds plough through wind off the water and load up spin, but they ask more of your timing and your arm. Balanced sits in the middle and suits most all-court games.
If your last set feels heavy in the shoulder, go lighter. If shots sail on you in the wind, go a touch heavier.
Still torn? The 30-day return window means you can test on sand risk-free, or ask us and we’ll pick for you.
