Rogue3 Gel-Core

Introducing the new Rogue3

The Rogue3 is here! With upgrades and improvements all around, this is one of the few paddles on the market hand-built in the USA and it offers more features than the competition! From the Triple Vibration Damping to the electroplated diamond weave carbon fiber with Ultra-Spin surface, the Rogue3 is built to [out]perform!

KEY FEATURES

We took our best-selling Rogue2 paddle and analyzed every aspect of it to find ways to improve it across the board. What we came up with was the Rogue3! Our all-new Rogue3 paddle features:

• Electroplated Diamond Weave Carbon Fiber
• Ultra-Spin Surface Texture
• 3x Vibration Damping
• 3rd Generation Gel-Core
• Full Handle-Length Vibration Damping Throat Reinforcement
• 360° Shock Barrier Handle
• 2 Different Swing Weights Available (112 & 117 kg*cm²)
• Larger Hitting Surface
• Longer Handle (5-1/2")
• Thicker Core (16mm)

Electroplated Diamond Weave Carbon Fiber:

• • This durable and eye-catching woven carbon fiber surface provides the perfect balance of power and control. It gives you the rigidity of carbon fiber with the power of fiberglass.

  • Each of the millions of strands of raw carbon fiber is electronically coated with an alloy, which thickens and stiffens the paddle face to increase ball speed while retaining torsional stiffness for predictability.

Ultra-Spin Surface Texture:

• • We tested countless textured surfaces to find not just the one that felt “roughest” to our hands, but the one that actually “gripped” the ball best. Our findings were quite surprising. In many cases, the paddle surfaces that felt rougher to the touch did not actually grip the ball as well as some that felt smoother. The data backs that up. The surface texture used on the Rogue3 is the maximum allowable by USA Pickleball and in our testing, gripped the ball so well we needed to adjust our test method!

3x Vibration Damping:

• • 3rd Generation Gel-Core: Our award-winning Gel-Core (elastomer-infused honeycomb core) continues to enhance performance in several measurable ways:

    • Larger Sweet Spot

    • Greater Paddle Stability on Ball Impact

    • Reduced Vibrations Transmitted to the Player's Hand

    • Softer Ball Impact Sound

    • In this latest generation, we’re using a higher-density application to further improve the benefits above and now have the ability to place the Gel-Core vibration damping rods in different locations within the paddle face, allowing us to alter the swing weight to meet your specific needs. No other paddle on the market has this ability.

  • Full Handle-Length Vibration Damping Throat Reinforcement:
    

    • The carbon fiber reinforcement is designed with a unique rubber-like material that is fused into the composite during layup. This material drastically improves the normally high frequency characteristics of carbon fiber and transforms it into a vibration absorbing component, isolating your hand from the impact of the ball on the paddle face. 
    • This proven-effective vibration damping throat reinforcement has been enlarged to extend the length of the entire handle. The increased span of damping material further isolates ball impact vibrations from your hand.

    • Made of durable and rigid woven carbon fiber, it reinforces the strength of the neck and handle.

    360° Shock Barrier Handle:

    • Between your paddle’s grip wrap and the handle core is a full-circumference layer of injection-molded, vibration-absorbing, flexible foam. This acts to further isolate vibrations before they reach your arm.

Larger hitting surface:

• • We’ve redesigned the hybrid shape for the Rogue3 to increase and maximize the hitting area.

Longer Handle:

• • We modified the dimensions of the paddle to provide a generous 5 ½” long handle, to better accommodate those two-handed backhands.

Thicker Core:

• • The 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core with Gel-Core and the electroplated diamond weave carbon fiber surface make for a paddle with a solid feel, incredible control, and the power you need. 

USA Pickleball Approved

Please note that due to the nature of carbon fiber weaves, some minor variations in the weave & sheen are normal, do not affect performance in any way, and are not considered a defect.
