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 thicker 16MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers increased stability and plush shock absorption, with elite power that feels controllable. The Friction Pro 16MM Elongated paddle is designed for players prioritizing power, reach, and aggressive play, without losing out on stability and control.

The 16MM Elongated model is James Ignatowich’s competition paddle of choice. “This paddle is for anyone. It’s forgiving, and controllable, but the top end power and spin are elite.” - James Ignatowich
