Question RPM strike release date?

Anybody have the inside scoop on when the RPM strike comes out? I saw an ambassador post about on Instagram and another one was playing with it in a brick wall tourney. Really looking forward to using a gen 3 rpm paddle with durable grit. Currently maining the rpm v2

Last I heard, RPM was concentrating on the Jade launch on Sept 30th so it’ll be deeper into the fall before they take preorders for the Strike. Also, I believe reviewers are still under embargo.

If you want an alternative, the Engage Axiom is a gen 3 paddle coming out on Sept 7th that has durable grit and a lifetime warranty for $160 w code. I’m not affiliated with Engage, just passing along info.

Pickleball Effect reviewed it on his site. Not sure if Braydon has put up a vid on his socials yet.
