RPM Friction Pro Widebody Pickleball Paddle 16mm

Dominate the kitchen line with the RPM Friction Pro Widebody 16mm. This pickleball paddle delivers effortless power, blazing hand speed, and unrivaled spin. It was co-designed and built by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional player, and it brings explosive power and surgical precision to every shot.

RPM LABS combines three proprietary technologies for standout performance:

• CarbonBite Surface: grips the ball for spin and control.
• DwellZone Sweet-Spot: adds pop and consistency.
• Tri-Density Core: gives a balanced, powerful feel.

The Widebody shape gives you a larger sweet spot, so off-balanced mishits keep their pop and forgiveness. It is also quick and maneuverable in the air, which sharpens hand speed and volleys. That makes it a strong choice for doubles specialists. The shape also has our lowest swing weights, so the paddle feels lighter and responds faster in fast-paced firefights at the kitchen line.

The thicker 16mm core adds stability and plush shock absorption, helping you shape the ball with confidence.

Built for players who value:

• A larger sweet spot
• Maneuverability
• Control
• Stability
