I love my Rogue2 Carbon Hybrid Shape Gel-Core paddle -- I have had issues with golfer's elbow (now also known as pickleball elbow), and it was recommended to me to try a gel-core paddle. Along with my physical therapy exercises, switching to this paddle has made a world of difference. Plus, I love the feel of the paddle, and as I like the soft game, I notice a great amount of control with this paddle. I also love to support American-made products and companies. The customer service is excellent. The prices aren't too shabby, either!
