RPM FRICTION PRO 16MM ELONGATED Pickleball Paddle

RPM FRICTION PRO 16MM ELONGATED Pickleball Paddle

The RPM FRICTION PRO 16MM Elongated is built for players who demand maximum spin, explosive power, and uncompromising control at the highest levels of play. Designed in collaboration with a top-ranked PPA champion, this paddle combines advanced engineering with pro-level performance, giving competitive players the confidence to dominate every rally. Its elongated shape expands reach while delivering pinpoint accuracy, and its cutting-edge surface technology puts unparalleled spin directly into your hands.

At the heart of the RPM FRICTION lies RPM LABS’ CarbonBite surface and Tri-Density Core technology. Together, they create unmatched dwell time, precision, and energy transfer. The CarbonBite surface maximizes friction against the ball, unlocking spin potential like never before, while the Tri-Density Core blends three material densities to optimize pocketing, stability, and explosive responsiveness. The result? A paddle that feels smooth, stable, and powerful in every shot — giving you the confidence to attack hard, roll heavy spin, and finish with authority.
