This is the third paddle I have purchased from Players. I had a chronic tennis elbow problem a couple of years ago and was drawn to the gel core vibration dampening design of the Rogue 2. My tennis elbow cleared up within a couple of weeks. Wife started getting tennis elbow, Bought her one and it cleared as well. Got a great deal on a demo Selkirk power air. After a couple of months, the tennis elbow was back. Purchased the Rogue2 carbon and tennis elbow gone. Love the spin and control. Great product, Great customer service, made in America at a great price. Players player for life!
