FAQ
Control players excel in strategy and precision, preferring to outsmart their opponents with meticulously placed shots. Precision and accuracy define their playing style, as control players rely on skillful ball placement over brute force.
Control pickleball paddles support players who prefer using finesse in their game. They typically feature a thicker core, a larger sweet spot, and materials that take pace off the ball. While they support more controlled shots, control paddles do require more force to generate powerful putaway shots.
The ALTO line from Apollo Sport is our more beginner-friendly pickleball paddle brand. When you are learning to play pickleball, you will want to learn more about your playing style: Do you prefer control or power? What kind of grip do you like? What material do you prefer? Etc. So we recommend starting out with a beginner or intermediate paddle, like those in the ALTO line, when you start playing.
