The RPM Friction Pro 16mm Widebody is a carbon-faced pickleball paddle co-designed with pro James Ignatowich. Its widebody shape and 16mm core aim at a big sweet spot, a plush feel and quick hands at the kitchen line rather than the extra reach of an elongated paddle. It suits doubles players who value control, stability and spin over raw reach. Against elongated power paddles it trades reach for forgiveness and maneuverability; owners rate it highly, though some singles players may want the longer shape.

Owners rate it 4.8 out of 5 and praise its forgiveness, spin and quick hands at the net. The main reservation is reach: players who cover more court may prefer an elongated shape.
The RPM Friction Pro 16mm Widebody is a professional-level pickleball paddle co-designed with James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional player. It combines RPM LABS' CarbonBite Surface, DwellZone Sweet-Spot and Tri-Density Core technologies. The face is carbon fiber.
The Widebody shape gives a larger sweet spot, which adds pop and forgiveness on off-center hits. It also has RPM's lowest swing weights, so the paddle feels light and responds quickly at the kitchen line. The shape is built for control and maneuverability in the air, which helps hand speed and volleys.
The 16mm core adds stability and shock absorption. The paddle is designed for players who prioritize sweet-spot size, maneuverability, control and stability, and it is aimed at doubles play. The elongated shape adds reach, which suits singles players less.
