The Rhapsody 13 stands out due to our patent-pending Sweet-Spot Enhancement System (SES)™. This innovative technology combines an optimized "Smart Shape" design with the paddle’s width being largest at the equator of the sweet-spot. We infuse a proprietary PolyPropel Precision Gel to the paddle’s core, enhancing even further a larger sweet-spot and superior ball control. Add to that our NASA-grade honeycomb core, and you've got a paddle that delivers unmatched precision, and durability.

The Rhapsody 13 is designed for pickleball players of all levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve quickly, an intermediate player aiming to refine your skills, or a pro seeking that extra edge, this paddle will elevate your game. Its forgiving nature makes it perfect for newcomers, while its control, spin and precision cater to advanced players.

Our Sweet-Spot Enhancement System(SES)™ works in two ways:

• The paddle is widest at the "equator of the sweet-spot" - where most impactful shots occur.
• We've injected metallic-infused silicone gel around this area, amplifying your shots for harder hits, faster flights, and pinpoint accuracy.

Absolutely! The Rhapsody 13 is fully approved by USA Pickleball for tournament play. You can confidently use this paddle in any official competition.

When you order the Rhapsody 13, you'll receive:

• The Rhapsody 13 paddle
• A professional pickleball ball
• An Avoura overgrip
• Lead tape for customization
• Exclusive access to Steve Dawson's 22-Day Drill Series

Your purchase includes a free customization kit with an overgrip and lead tape. The overgrip allows you to adjust the handle thickness for comfort, while the lead tape lets you fine-tune the paddle's weight distribution to match your playing style. We highly recommend playing with it as is, to start, and then adjust if needed.

The Rhapsody 13 was designed by Steve Dawson, a US Open Champion and Senior World Champion, along with his family - known as the "First Family of Pickleball." Their combined 80 years of professional racket expertise and passion for the game have resulted in this game-changing paddle.
