The RPM Friction Pro V2 utilizes new technology to improve upon 2025’s paddle of the year, the RPM Friction Pro. The V2 includes RPM’s new Axial Carbon Layup, coupled with an enhanced EVA foam ring to generate elite spin & power and enhance the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the RPM Friction Pro line was engineered with professional, advanced play in mind. RPM LABS has combined its CarbonBite Surface, Axial Carbon Layup, and Tri-Density Core technologies to engineer revolutionary performance for every player.
With a thicker 16MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers increased stability and plush shock absorption. The Friction Pro 16MM Hybrid Flat Top's shape blends elongated reach with widebody forgiveness, while its flat top profile adds stability and drive power for players who want the best of both shapes.
