The basic equipment includes a pickleball racket, pickleballs, and a pickleball net. Sports shoes with good traction are also advantageous.

The lifespan of a pickleball paddle can vary depending on the manufacturer, material quality, and intensity of use. Generally, pickleball paddles are designed to be durable and withstand many hours of play. Here are some factors that can affect a paddle's lifespan:

1. Material quality: Paddles made from high-quality materials such as graphite, carbon fiber, or composites tend to last longer than paddles made from simpler materials.
2. Frequency of use: The more often you play, the faster a paddle will wear out. Tournament players who play for hours every day will likely need a new paddle more often than casual players.
3. Maintenance: Taking good care of your paddle can extend its lifespan. Keep it clean, regularly check the condition of the handle and edge, and protect it from extreme temperatures and humidity.
4. Stroke technique: Your stroke technique can also play a role. If you often hit your racket against hard surfaces like the floor or a wall, it will wear out faster.
5. Manufacturers: Some manufacturers offer paddles with longer durability and warranties for a specific period.

Generally, a well-maintained pickleball paddle should last 12 months to a year and a half or longer with above-average use (several hours per week). Tournament players or very active players may find they need to replace their paddle every few weeks, while casual players might be able to use the same paddle for years. Compare it to the wear and tear on skis.

It is important to note that signs of wear and tear such as cracks, dents, or an uneven edge may indicate that it is time to purchase a new paddle to maintain playing performance.
