Have you ever wondered how to add an extra element of excitement to your pickleball games, especially when the sun goes down? Well, wonder no more because the PickleStar LED light-up pickleballs might be the answer you’ve been looking for. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at these intriguing glow-in-the-dark pickleballs and see if they really live up to the hype.
The Basics of The PickleStar LED Pickleballs
The PickleStar LED pickleballs are, in a word, cool. They come in a variety of vibrant colors, adding a touch of visual flair to your nighttime pickleball sessions. In the video review, the green version is showcased, but there are other color options available to suit your personal preference.
Each pack of PickleStar LED pickleballs includes not only the balls themselves but also the lights and batteries required to power them. Additionally, there’s a nifty little device included in the package that plays a crucial role in keeping the pickleballs illuminated during play.
Ease of Use
Installing the light in the pickleball is a straightforward process. Once the light is securely inserted into the ball, it automatically turns on, and you’re ready to play. When you’ve finished your game, you can easily store the pickleball with the light still in place. When it’s time for another round of pickleball, simply turn the light to re-engage it.
A couple of tips from the reviewer: Be cautious when nearing the end of tightening the light, as it can get a little tight. Apply some downward pressure to avoid stripping the threads. Also, make sure to tighten it just enough so that it sits flush with the rest of the ball.
Performance
Now, let’s talk about how these LED pickleballs perform on the court. Unfortunately, the reviewer hasn’t had the chance to play with them outdoors on a pickleball court due to the weather. However, they’ve put them to the test indoors on a concrete wall and floor.
At the time of the video recording, these LED pickleballs had garnered over 200 reviews with an average rating of 4.1 stars. The most common complaint seems to be that they don’t always land or bounce as expected. According to the reviewer, this is not necessarily due to the added weight from the light and battery but rather because the part of the ball with the light is slightly higher and harder.
During indoor play, the reviewer noticed that when the ball was hit on the lit portion of the ball, it sounded more solid, and the ball didn’t bounce as expected. Conversely, when the ball hit the wall, it tended to lose momentum quickly. However, it’s essential to remember that these LED pickleballs are designed more for fun than serious competitive play.
Conclusion
In conclusion, PickleStar LED pickleballs offer a unique and enjoyable twist on the traditional game of pickleball. While they may not be suitable for serious players looking for precise bounces, they are perfect for those who want to extend their playtime into the evening or simply add a touch of excitement to their pickleball matches.
So, if you’re searching for a fun gift for a pickleball enthusiast or want to spice up your own nighttime games, give these LED pickleballs a shot. They may not revolutionize your pickleball experience, but they’re sure to illuminate your evenings with fun and laughter on the court.
