Is the RPM Jade worth $229.49?

It is a pro-level paddle with a full-foam core and a spin surface built to last, so the price buys durability and spin retention. If you play several times a week and wear through gritted surfaces, it can pay off. Casual players may not need it.

Should I get the 14mm or 16mm core?

The 14mm core gives more pop and a lower swing weight; the 16mm core gives more dwell time, control and a softer feel. Power players tend to prefer 14mm, while control and doubles players often pick 16mm.

Elongated or widebody?

Elongated gives extra reach and leverage on serves and drives; widebody gives a wider sweet spot and more stability on blocks. Both come in 14mm and 16mm cores.

How does the Jade differ from other RPM paddles?

It is the newest full-foam model in RPM's lineup, built around the SICmatrix surface for long-lasting spin. RPM calls it a power paddle with more predictable touch than its earlier full-foam paddles.

What is the grip size?

The grip is 5.5 inches long with a 4.125-inch circumference, which suits most hands and allows a two-handed backhand.

About the RPM Jade Pickleball Paddle

UPDATE: 10/9

We have received in 14mm and 16 Elongated paddles. Hoping the widebodys ship mid Oct.

The RPM Jade is the newest addition to RPM's full-foam lineup, built around a single obsession: spin that lasts.

Engineered as a power paddle with exceptional spin, the Jade delivers explosive pop balanced by a level of predictability and touch that rewards precise, high-level play.

At the heart of the Jade is our MPP floating core. This full-foam construction is engineered to resist the breakdown and dead spots that wear down other paddles over time. The floating MPP core is surrounded by soft EVA foam, tuned for elite power, an oversized sweet spot, and long-term durability.

But the true star of the Jade is its grit. At RPM, we're always in the pursuit of more—and Tier 1 durable roughness has been on our radar for a very long time. We went through prototype after prototype, refining and testing until we landed on a surface we're genuinely proud of: one that generates elite spin and, critically, holds it—shot after shot, season after season. With our proprietary SICmatrix surface, the Jade generates spin most paddles can't match and keeps generating it far longer than paddles that smooth out and fade with use.

The result is a paddle designed for players who want elite spin that doesn't wear down, explosive power they can control, and predictable performance from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.
