Product Details
RPM Q2 16mm - Elongated Pickleball Paddle
Elite Power. Maximum Spin. Predictable Performance.
Introducing the RPM Q2 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle, the first model in RPM's new Q Series, developed in collaboration with renowned paddle engineer and reviewer John Kew.
Engineered with an advanced full-foam construction, the RPM Q2 delivers a powerful yet predictable response, exceptional stability, and long-lasting durability. Its innovative multi-zone hybrid core combines strategically tuned foam densities, TPU perimeter inserts, and a proprietary carbon fiber layup to create a more forgiving sweet spot with consistent performance across the paddle face.
Designed for competitive players seeking controlled aggression, explosive power, and precision, the Q2 delivers confidence from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.
🔑 Key Features:
- CarbonBite Surface Technology: RPM's FRICTION CarbonBite carbon fiber surface maximizes grip and friction for exceptional spin generation, powerful topspin, sharp slices, and controlled roll shots.
- Multi-Zone Hybrid Core: Fully molded EPP foam core with integrated 3mm groove channels enhances controlled flex, structural integrity, and consistent ball response while minimizing hot spots and dead zones.
- TPU Perimeter Inserts: Strategically positioned at the 3 and 9 o'clock locations to improve torsional stability, increase energy return, and expand the effective sweet spot.
- TPE Neck Inserts: High-density thermoplastic elastomer inserts reduce vibrations, lower the balance point, and improve maneuverability while maintaining a comfortable, connected feel.
- Patent-Pending Axial Carbon Layup: Proprietary carbon fiber construction promotes uniform flex and predictable performance across the entire paddle face.
- Elongated Shape: Offers extended reach and leverage for aggressive drives, powerful putaways, and improved court coverage.
- Full-Foam Durability: Engineered for long-term structural stability and consistent playability.
