Review: Rally Tyro 2 Pro Pickleball Paddle
Hey Pickle People here’s another review!
I had the awesome chance this past weekend to get my hands on the Rally Tyro 2 Pro paddle. I borrowed it from a friend and probably played about 6 or 7 games with it. I know I haven’t used it for all that long, but I will give you my first impressions of this paddle and if I think you may want to use it or not! This is a lower to midrange paddle that will run around 60 - 80 dollars depending on where you get it.
Head
The head is a pretty standard shape and has a relatively think shock wrap around the outside. I like to have this wrap be a little thinner because it can get in the way of some hits at the edge of the paddle, but some like it thicker. I do like the texture of the paddle. It is more of a matte finish and it really feels like you get good contact with the ball at any point. I also like how the finish is uniform on the face so it seems like the ball will come off the same from anywhere you hit it.
Handle
This handle is a nice shape and well made. Also he pre-installed grip on it is nice to the touch, but I’m sure you can change this depending on your preference. I have run into problems with the handles on some paddles at or around this price point, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem here. I have seen some people re-grip the handle and have really given a custom feel to their paddle, but overall I think the stock handle is just fine for everyday play.
Overall Impressions
Great for the price
Consistent solid hits and nice handle feel
Even Face texture makes spinning the ball consistent
Overall I really enjoyed playing with this paddle and I think that it makes a solid beginner/intermediate paddle as a first paddle or even an upgrade from your old paddle. It isn’t heavy, but it isn’t super light. I can imagine if you are playing the entire day your wrist might start to get a little tired because of the weight. The face and contact seems solid and reliable and the thin shock guard let me hit just about every shot I wanted. I liked the texture and thought it allowed me to uniformly spin any ball I wanted in any direction without too much deviation between hits. It was overall a great experience and I am thinking about adding this to my collection or maybe even buying it as a gift for one of my buddies who wants to play with me.
