BABOLAT RNGD GEN 3 PADDLE

The Babolat RNGD Gen 3 is a premium performance pickleball paddle engineered specifically for developing players and enthusiastic amateurs who want to dominate rallies with effortless power and massive spin. This third-generation model focuses on a highly responsive, flexible design that makes swinging a breeze while maximizing your shot depth. Fully USA Pickleball approved for official tournament play, it turns tough baseline practice into easy court victories.

The standout feature of the RNGD Gen 3 is its premium 100% fiberglass face structure. Unlike rigid carbon materials, fiberglass yields a high degree of flex upon ball impact, acting like a trampoline to generate extra pop and deep court depth without overloading your arm. To prevent opponents from attacking your deep drives, the surface is treated with Babolat’s advanced RPM Grit technology. This rough, textured paint features the maximum legal friction coefficient allowed by USA Pickleball, allowing you to slice backspin resets or grip the ball for aggressive topspin angles.

To maximize the sweet spot, the face is backed by aerospace-grade SMAC Technology. This viscoelastic dampening material is layered into the core to filter out harsh impact shockwaves, expanding the hitting surface and providing a highly comfortable, plush feel at contact. Fitted with the tennis-inspired Perfect Feel (PF) Handle and a moisture-wicking Syntec Uptake grip, it stays dry and secure in your hands. Complete with a heavy-duty, shock-resistant bumper edge guard to withstand court scrapes, this powerful paddle elevates your competitive drive.
