What Makes The
Rhapsody 13 A Game
Changer In Pickleball?

Every sport has its innovations, those radical leaps forward that change the game forever.

In pickleball, it's the Rhapsody 13.

But why? What sets it apart from every other paddle on the market? It all starts with our patent-pending Sweet-Spot Enhancement System (SES)™– the first of its kind in pickleball.

The Sweet-Spot Enhancement System (SES) is a two-part activation that revolutionizes how your paddle responds to each shot.

It all starts with our patent-pending Sweet-Spot Enhancement System (SES)™– the first of its kind in pickleball.

The Sweet-Spot Enhancement System (SES) is a two-part activation that revolutionizes how your paddle responds to each shot.

Here’s how it works:

1. Maximized Impact Design

img

Unlike most paddles that maintain a square-like shape, the Rhapsody 13 is widest at its “equator”— the sweet-spot. This striking zone is where all impactful shots occur in pickleball. With our unique design, we've reduced excess paddle material where it's not needed, which maximizes playability where it matters most.

 

2. PolyPropel Precision Gel

img

To make the sweet-spot even sweeter, we've injected metallic-infused gel around it. This is where the magic happens. When you strike the ball within this area, you’ll enjoy an amplified response that makes your shots hit harder, fly faster and land with pinpoint accuracy. No more dead spots, weak hits, or guesswork.

But it gets even BETTER…

Unlock The Power Of
NASA Grade
Technology
With Every Swing…

img

We've equipped the Rhapsody 13 with a highly sought after, professional player approved, American made honeycomb polypropylene.

Known for its lightness and superior durability, this material forms the powerful engine of the paddle…

Ensuring that you're equipped with a paddle that's built to last, without sacrificing reliable shot-making feedback.

This ingenious blend of cutting-edge technology and weight distribution helps players achieve more shots in the sweet-spot which creates an enjoyable and rewarding hitting experience.

Absolute Game-Changer Paddle

"I’ve tried a lot of paddles over the years, but the Avoura Rhapsody 13 is hands down the best paddle I’ve ever played with. The expanded sweet spot is no joke—shots that used to feel off now feel masterfully hit. I'm a believer.

Every Shot Feels "Plush"

I don't usually write reviews, but the Avoura Rhapsody deserves it. I couldn't quite find the right word to describe hitting it - velvety, posh, pleasurable. They all work but "Plush" is what it really feels like. Big shoutout to the engineers for trying something new.

Incredible! Bravo! Avoura hit a homerun with this.

I can't believe how many shots end up in the sweet-spot. I enjoy this paddle so much I actually look forward to the next shot. The feedback on each shot is brilliant. I'm a convert.
