Rush 13mm

Elongated13mmGen 2

The Thrive Rush 13mm is a 13 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (16th percentile) with below-average power and low pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
