The grip circumference is a comfortable 4.1." In racket sports, it's impossible to 'grip-down' but easy to 'grip-up' with over-grip to your preferred size.

As such, we offer a free over-grip in every Rhapsody 13 order so you can customize the grip circumference to your liking.

The Rhapsody 13 leans towards power, but accessible power. It's not classified as an ultra-power paddle, but the large sweet-spot allows for more power shots, more often.

Reviewers have described the paddle as "dynamic" - just the right amount of power to compete in the modern game of Pickleball without sacrificing control, touch and placement due to its forgiving shape.

Yes, the Rhapsody 13 by Avoura is fully approved by USA Pickleball and the paddle is listed within their website's database.

It’s not recommended to clean your paddle because built up residue can create more spin. If you must clean your paddle use mild soap and water.

Check our size guide on each product page. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us.

All Avoura paddles come with a limited 180-day warranty covering manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship, including the paddle core, face, and handle.

As a new brand with a unique shape we believe it's important to give players the ability to test-drive the paddle for 30 days.

If for any reason you'd like to return the paddle within 30 days of shipping, simply request a return for a full refund minus the cost of the return shipment, which is automatically deducted from the return amount.

How does it help with arm issues.

Our founder and paddle designer, Steve Dawson, has struggled with arm-injury (tennis elbow) for 30 years. Creating paddles that are arm-friendly was a non-negotiable for Steve.

The culprit for arm-injury is shock and vibration which are activated mostly on off-center shots. A sweet-spot is that feel good area of the paddle where shock and vibration are removed and plush feedback is delivered to the arm.

By creating the Rhapsody 13 with the highest Twist Weight ever made in a 13mm paddle, the shock and vibration dramatically reduces.

Here’s an additional video on this important topic from Steve: https://youtu.be/jJ3VBpaUGuY
