Green zone Pickleball paddles or quiet Pickleball paddles are those that are paddles rated as “Quiet”.
Many Pickleball paddle manufacturers now produce quieter paddles suitable for these green zones.
Find out which quiet paddles we recommended.
These pickleball paddles are designed to provide players with a quieter experience. Some can be slightly thicker and heavier than regular paddles but new technologies mean most paddles are getting lighter and stronger.
There is generally a larger sweet spot that reduces the amount of noise generated when the ball is struck.
Also, they have softer materials such as rubber and graphite, which absorb sound and reduce vibration. Combining these features helps reduce the sound of the ball striking the paddle.
Noise can be a problem in some communities and the following is a guideline list by manufacturer and model of paddles that are quieter.
Remember, there is no official guide to Green Zone Pickleball Paddles however the USAPA does have a list of paddles with a PASS status.
This is a guide only.
