The RPM Friction Pro V2 is an elongated, 14mm-core pickleball paddle built for aggressive players. It pairs RPM's CarbonBite surface with a new Axial Carbon Layup and an EVA foam ring around a tri-density core, aiming for high spin, fast rebound and a large sweet spot. The elongated face gives extra reach for high balls, volleys and singles, and the thin core favors pop and hand speed over plush control. Co-designed with pro James Ignatowich, it sits at the power end of the market, closer to other elongated 14mm power paddles than to thick, forgiving control models. It is USAP approved with a PBCoR of .43.

The RPM Friction Pro V2 is a professional-level pickleball paddle that builds on the original RPM Friction Pro. It uses RPM's Axial Carbon Layup with an enhanced EVA foam ring.
