RPM Friction Pro Elongated Pickleball Paddle – 14mm & 16mm

The RPM Friction Pro Elongated Pickleball Paddle is a game-changer for high-level performance, combining cutting-edge materials with elite-level playability. Co-designed by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked pro, this paddle delivers a competitive edge for players who demand precision, spin, and power.

Available in both 14mm and 16mm core thicknesses, the Friction Pro series features RPM’s proprietary CarbonBite Surface, Tri-Density Core, and DwellZone Sweet-Spot technology, engineered by RPM LABS to maximize feel, dwell time, and consistency across the paddle face.

The elongated shape (41.9 cm x 19.1 cm) mirrors tennis racquet performance—offering greater reach for singles play, extended follow-through for drives, and quicker net attacks.

• The 14mm version is optimized for explosive speed and pop, offering a faster rebound and incredible maneuverability—ideal for aggressive players like Ryan Fu.

• The 16mm version provides added stability, plush vibration dampening, and a larger sweet spot—preferred by James Ignatowich for its forgiving feel and controllable power.

Whether you value pure offensive dominance or a balance between finesse and force, the RPM Friction Pro Elongated Paddle is engineered for those ready to compete at the highest level.
