u/Willing-Peanut-881

for our anniversary she has asked for a pickleball paddle. She is currently using a local venues homebrand paddle she won in a giveaway thing

I am not a pickleball person so im not really sure whats good. And she is a true beginner so she doesn't really know either

I Play lacrosse and I like having good gear so I want her to have something good or decent too

After conversing with chat gpt im leaning towards the slk halo control max, is this an okay choice? Is there an option anyone likes better for a similar price? Any thoughts appreciated

Btw we are in australia so i may not have all the options people in usa have

**update- after browsing reddit people seem to like the luzz glider and friday aura (the aura is the top of my budget btw)
