Rally Graphite Power 2.0 Pickleball Paddle

I've been playing pickleball for a month now and I'm still working on improving my game. I've been working on hitting the ball with control and sometimes hit the ball a little soft. I wanted to get a little more power out of the racket, so I could focus on hitting with a consistent stroke and not have to try to produce more power with my swing. This racket is exactly what I was looking for. It has excellent power, a large sweet spot, and great control. I started out with a Zen racket, which is a good racket, but the Rally Graphite Power 2.0 gives me more power, with no loss of control. I've played with it three times now and I'm very pleased.My only complaint is that I would like a 4.5 grip circumference. I have big hands and I need a larger grip size. Why are so few rackets offered in 4.5 grip size? I'll have to put an overgrip on it to make the grip larger.Update: This was a great racket until it broke. About the fifth time I was playing with this racket, the edge guard separated at a seam on the front edge of the racket where the left and right half of the edge guard joins together. While I was playing, I pushed the edge guard back together at the seam. After a few more hits, the left half of the edge guard completely separated from the racket. This seam at the from of the racket is a definite weakness in the design. I haven't seen it on any other rackets.I returned the racket to Amazon and was reimbursed. Now I'm looking for a racket with similar materials and characteristics.

SUPER disappointed... have only used this paddle 4 or 5 times and the frame has almost completely separated from the paddle itself. This is definitely not the most expensive paddle out there, but it is also not super cheap either. Frustrated as I was very happy with the paddle until this happened, now it's unusable.

Used this product for just over 2 months and I am dissappointed.In the first week of play the plastic cap that holds the two edge pieces together popped off and I had to glue it back on.Now the edge of my racket popped loose because the edge was poorly glued.When all together the racket plays very well.I would not recommend purchasing a racket where the edges are of 2 piece construction.

I was using a lighter paddle and had to bang the ball pretty had to get some velocity on it. Now, using this paddle that weighs approx. 7.9 ounces, my power game has improved. At the net just hold it up at the right angle and with minimal effort you can place the ball where you want with a simple wrist shot. Learning to hit top spin shots has taken a bit more time....overall my game is improving. Great paddle for arthritic hands...at least my hands anyway.

I'm a newbie to the sport, but I like the feel of this paddle... until, after two months, it broke at the handle/body junction. No problem. PickleballCentral has excellent customer service and warranty.

I loved the racquet but edge banding cracked after 3 months. Pickleball Central terrific warranty service replaced with another racquet but it also cracked in one month during colder weather (we play down to high 20s). Pickleball Central was very concerned about making sure I had a good racquet that met my needs. Eliza shipped replacement immediately and I had within 3 days each time. Definitely will deal with them again when I need a new racquet. I was told this racquet is now discontinued.

Poor quality. Delaminated after just 45 days. Only played twice

This is the second Of these I have bought. It has a big sweet spot and generates a lot of power. It is not heavy, but not very light either. When I was a beginner it was a little strong, but I quickly became accustomed to it and love it! I used it for almost a year and it never cracked, the edge never pealed, I did use another racquet sometimes, but mostly this one in all that time. I am buying a second one of these because the first was stolen.
