Great graphite paddle. Perfect weight. Good grip suitable for my hand. Works well for spin as well as shots. Only issue I faces is has a bit of vibration. I would not recommend it to anyone with tennis elbow or shoulder injurie.Reduced one star for vibration.

Nice paddle, grip is very comfortable and stays in place in your hand. Does well on the court. Thought it was a bit overpriced. Overall, really liked this pickelball paddle. Would buy it again.

So, I got Aluminum paddles. They're supposed to be lighter and give better ball control. My other paddles are fiberglass (different brand) and they're quite a bit lighter. I'm not noticing better ball control either. It's the same.Good grip wrap.These balls are indoor balls and really not very good quality. Rather thin plastic and have some weak spots. (Reason for 4 stars)Maybe this is just how heavy Aluminum paddles are? I'm probably going to keep using my other paddles. :/

I belong to a pickleball league. I probably have 10 paddles, of differing construction and value. There's nothing to complain about with this Champion Sports Rhino paddle, the Rhino Fuse 100 (Graphite). There are lower cost models, and I doubt that a beginner will really be affected by the composition of the paddle. Quickness, reaction time, and accuracy are key. Use the paddle that works for you.

Since various paddles are listed all in one place, I wanted to mention that I'm reviewing the Rhino Edge set, the seven-ply wood pickleball paddles with two pickleballs.I'm a pickleball newbie, so I'm not sure what aficionados will think of the balls, reusable bag, and paddles, but I like them all. The paddles are pretty heavy, though! Both of mine are heavier than stated (even before the customization mentioned in a bit). One is close to the max of 11.2 ounces mentioned, at 11.3 ounces, which is probably within the error a scale could make. But the other (though it looks identical) is a whole ounce heavier, at 12.3 ounces. I start to feel strain in my wrists pretty quickly with the paddles. The star being docked is specifically due to them being heavier than stated.But I do think the set is relatively quality-made. I wanted to take the heavier paddle down to the wood and customize it a lot (I know that's a big no-no with pickleball paddles, but I was wanting to do this just with one). Anyway, in trying to remove the edge guard with pliers, I found that it wouldn't budge! I quickly switched to doing a couple easier and more acceptable electrical tape modifications. Hopefully that's a good sign that the edge guards will hold up over time and protect the paddles.
