Bought this for my husband who is starting out with pickleball. Bought in June. He has played 2 tournaments and used in several training sessions and 1 lesson. Since then he has only been training. He came back and showed me the condition of the rudder. In general it looked great, but when it was "shaken" you could hear "sand" rattling in and the handle coming off the handle. He likes Americana style and dresses accordingly when he plays. I would like to replace it with a new one. Are you replacing this item or has the warranty expired after the return period? Considering the price, I hope it can be replaced under the product warranty.
