Our take on the Rally Rocket Pro V
Few paddle releases have felt more like summer than the JOOLA Rally Rocket.
Part of JOOLA’s larger “JOOLA Pops” campaign, the Rally Rocket Pro V paddles feature popsicle-inspired graphics, a bold red, white and blue colorway and some of the most creative packaging we’ve seen from a major paddle brand. JOOLA even launched the paddle with an ice cream truck tour that is traveling across the country.
Whether you love the design or not, it’s hard to argue that any paddle has captured the feeling of summer better this year.

Is the Rally Rocket Pro V worth $329.95?
Yes, if the design appeals to you. At $329.95 it sits in the premium price range, above the standard Pro V, and it uses the same KineticFrame, so the extra cost goes toward the popsicle-inspired graphics and red, white and blue colorway from the JOOLA Pops campaign.
Who should buy the Rally Rocket Pro V?
Players who want a Pro V elongated paddle and love the bold popsicle look. It suits advanced players comfortable with KineticFrame flex, which takes a couple hours to dial in. If you only care about performance per dollar, the standard Pro V costs less.
Buy it if
- You love the popsicle-inspired design
- You want a Pro V with elongated reach
- You like high power and high spin
- You want KineticFrame precision
Skip it if
- You care only about price per performance
- You want a widebody or hybrid shape
- You want a full-foam core
- You dislike an adjustment period
How does the Rally Rocket Pro V play?
It plays like the rest of the Pro V line. The KineticFrame flexes so the head moves parallel to its original position, giving a predictable exit trajectory and precise power. The 16mm elongated build with a 117 swing weight points to reach, high power and a plush feel on soft shots.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the Rally Rocket Pro V?
Its biggest edge is Pro V precision with eye-catching design. The main cost is a higher price than the standard Pro V for the same play.
Strengths
- Pro V KineticFrame flex and precise power
- High power and spin from the Pro V build
- Bold red, white and blue graphics
- Elongated reach from the 16mm shape
Trade-offs
- Costs more than the standard Pro V
- KineticFrame needs a couple hours of adjustment
- Gen 3 honeycomb core, not full foam
- Bold design will not suit everyone
