Graphite Pickleball Composite Honeycomb Lightweight Review

Terrible construction of this racquet, on the first play the ball flew off center and hit the edge and the black border immediately detached from the surface. I had to pause the game a few times while playing to get the plastic back in place. For some reason they changed the design of this paddle because I bought the exact same thing in 2016 and the black border is totally different and much more durable.

I love my new pickleball bat! After getting it and playing with it, I'm sure it improved my game. I did my research, visited several sporting goods stores to determine my grip size and weight, then compared paddles online and made my choice. The grip is comfortable and I hit much better than with previous used/borrowed paddles. It's also the ideal weight for me. PLUS, it's a "cool" racket in red! It's fun when you hear that sound when you hit a good shot!

Not very impressed with this rudder. I've had it for a little over a year and in the winter I don't play at all. The honeycomb in the paddle started to crack and I had a soft spot in the middle of the top of the paddle. Then today I was playing and hitting and the whole grip came off the paddle around my neck. I called the Pickleball Center and they told me that these paddles are known for this, but since my purchase was out of the year they couldn't help me with anything.

I've been using this spatula 3 times a week for a year and I love it. The rubber skirt is now loose on hard hits and the face is heavily worn. I ordered another replacement paddle and shortly after using it, I broke the neck of my new Rally Graphite PX when I collided with another player on a center hit. Pickleball Central replaced my bat for free. I feel like I can get good spin, good power and great touch. It might have a bit more vibration than other racquets, but that in turn gives you a…

This is by far the best paddle I have ever owned. Super light with a hard hitting surface. The edge guard is about half the width of other graphite blades, resulting in fewer missed shots. It took me a few sets to get used to the light weight of this racquet, but once I did, my game took a quantum leap. I use a lot of side, top and bottom spin when I play and the surface texture of this racquet really makes for great ball control. This paddle feels like an extension of my arm and offers great…

I've been playing with my Rally Graphite for a few weeks now and am enjoying the paddle. The weight is nice and light (mine weighed 7.1 ounces). The Winn grip tape is comfortable and grippy even when you sweat. The edge protection ensures peace of mind when hitting from below. I've only used it for outdoor games so far and the ball control seems great. No bumps or dents yet. My paddle arrived with a slight edge deformation (see photo). Not enough to deduct a star, but worth mentioning. It…

Bought in mid-March 2021 and played 1-3 times a week. This is a great combination of performance and touch controls. The textured surface allows you to add spin to your shots. I've hit the court a couple of times and noticed slight damage to the edge protection and the grip is good (soft and sticky). This is my first paddle and I bought this after researching various paddles/materials/reviews and was not disappointed. I will soon be buying another one as a backup/spare. I have no comparison to…

After reading all the reviews I'm very glad I got this paddle. It is very light compared to the "Champion" paddles provided by our recreation center. The edge protector has a low profile so the chance of getting hit by the edge appears to be reduced. The grip is soft and it's amazing. The surface of the racquet has a very light texture that seems to give the ball a bit of bite as it spins. The paddle noise makes it a little "poppy" but I like it. Gives a nice accent when I hit a bullseye. I've…

NOTE: I'm playing S 2.5-3.0 and have been playing for about a year. Have used the following composite and graphite paddles: HEAD, Niupipu, Upstreet, Pickleball Inc, Onix etc. I am a 62 year old ex-tennis player with mild arthritis in my wrist. For this reason I was looking for a lighter paddle. I got about 21 hours of playtime with my new Rally NX graphite paddle. - Cost: $57 (Amazon Prime) - Weight: Weighed on a postal scale - 7.10 oz. Very glad the paddle was lighter than advertised…
