The Rhapsody 13 — Blue by the numbers
Each bar places this paddle between the lowest and highest figure among the 41 paddle models on our wall. The dot is this paddle, the tick is the average. These are the makers' published specs, not lab measurements.
Buy it if
- You want pop. A 13 mm core is on the thin side, which usually means a livelier, faster response.
- You want a wide face. At 8.37 inches across it is one of the widest paddles we stock, and a wider face is more forgiving off-centre.
- You want some mass behind the ball. 8.1 oz puts it among the heaviest paddles we stock.
Skip it if
- You want the softer, more forgiving feel of a 16 mm core.
- Reach is your priority. It is 15.5 inches long, and elongated paddles run longer.
- You want the lightest, fastest paddle on the wall.

Nice setup for players at any level. Would recommend to anyone looking for great pickleball!
Pickleland is great! 9 beautiful courts that are completely separate from each other! There are so many opportunities to play all week long. I'm so glad Pflugerville has something that the whole family can enjoy!
I had a blast the first day at Pickleland! Met some new friends, played some competitive games, and toured the awesome new facility in Pflugerville! Looking forward to getting to know the community. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
