Rhapsody 13 Pickleball Paddle

I have only been playing 6 months and this paddle is my 2nd purchase. Love the light weight and power. Sweet spot is super but miss the length on the low drives.. I’ve improved alot over the past 4 weeks, thanks to the Avora Rhapsody!

This is my second purchase of a Rhapsody 13. I’m very particular about paddles. I own a bunch. The Rhapsody 13 original purchase took me a bit of time to feel good about. In fact I almost sent it back. The length being shorter took awhile. However, finally I decided to use the paddle exclusively and see what happened. It clicked in! Huge sweet spot. Very predictable, a nice feel. Nice sound as the ball comes off the paddle. I bought a second paddle because I like to have two of the same in my bag. They are never exactly the same. This is a nice paddle. I have to own my own mistakes. Also never any shoulder, elbow or wrist pain after a couple of hours of play. Maybe that’s the most important positive. I normally play three times a week at a moderate or advanced level. I am also an “Old Guy” living the dream after 40 years of racquetball.

My wife and I are relatively new to pickleball, having started playing in the summer of 2025. I saw an opportunity to snag these paddles at $99 and couldn’t pass it up. We noticed an immediate improvement in controlling the ball whether with spin or placement. Our game has definitely improved with these paddles. We are thrilled with our purchase and recommend Avoura!
