from 258 reviewsI have the new Rogue 3 Gel-Core, and I love it. I have ankle problems right now so my playing is limited but for what I can do this paddle is awesome. It has a good balance, and it plays great. I can't wait till my ankle gets better so I can truly appreciate this superb paddle.
I have my second elongated carbon paddle --the first I left on top of my car when I was cleaning it out and drove off--I looked at other brands but I thought I liked the first so much-- why change (besides, at least 30 new companies had entered the market since I bought the first one and I had no interest in going through that process. I still love the shape (the reach), the weight and the feel (handle, grip, and dynamics) of your paddle and it seems to be getting better as my game improves --in contrast to my original square paddle that I outgrew in 3 months. You make a great paddle and I am glad to play with it.
This new iteration, is still a -control- paddle. It provides some more plow and pop than the Rouge 2. For me, the main spec that I was after is the longer handle, for my 2 hand backhands. Great touch, resets and when that high-ball shows up, plenty of put away power. In the same way as the Rouge 2, it takes some time to realize that some free-power comes from the dwell-time at the sweet spot.
I have only been playing with this paddle for a short time, so I am still getting used to it. I like the low swing weight for counters at the net. I like that I have control and enough power on my drives and serves. I like the control for my resets.
It plays well, a good combination of power and control.
The new surface grips the ball nicely. I use spin on a lot of my serves and it's working great for that.
The control is definitely there and it gives me enough power for the game that I play.
I do my best to play a well rounded game and this paddle covers all the bases.
The new Rogue3 is so much lighter than the Rogue2, and I have increased the speed and control of my serves and shots. Excellent addition to the Rogue line!
I couldn't find a blemish anywhere on the paddle.
I have loved my Rouge2 Carbon Hybrid for some time and was skeptical that this Rouge3 would be better. I was wrong! Better balance and overall feel for the ball is the result with the Rouge3. My Rouge2 is still going strong, so I expect the 3 to last as long. Good job Players!
The cover seems to be the part of my order. Paddle seems way to light.
Cover fits nice and looks great. I do wish there were more color options but it's about protection not aesthetics.
I've been using Players paddles since the very beginning when you could customize build your own. The Rogue3 is once again another top quality addition from the paddle to the packaging. I tried the paddle yesterday. I'm not sure how it compares to my Rogue2 advanced gel quite yet. It did however have good power and touch.
