Overview

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.

The Friction Pro’s elongated shape offers extended reach for high balls, volley attacks, and singles play. This shape emulates tennis racquet play, with heightened power for next-level drives. With a thinner 14MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers immense power generation and faster rebound speed, paired with elite maneuverability. The Friction Pro 14MM Elongated paddle is designed for players prioritizing aggression, reach, pop, and maneuverability. 

The 14MM Elongated model is Ryan Fu’s competition paddle of choice. “This model is for the aggressive player that wants to play to their strengths.” - Ryan Fu
