Description
RPM Friction Pro V2 16mm Elongated: Power, Reach And Control
Built for aggressive players who want elongated reach and drive power with a controlled, stable 16mm response.
The RPM Friction Pro V2 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle combines an elongated shape with a friction-focused carbon-fiber surface and updated V2 construction.
Co-designed with professional player James Ignatowich, the 16mm Elongated is also his competition paddle of choice.
It is designed for players who attack with pace and spin but still want control and stability from a 16mm core.
Power, Reach And Spin
The elongated shape extends reach on high balls, volley attacks and singles coverage while adding leverage for drives and put-aways. The carbon-fiber surface is designed to increase friction at contact, helping support topspin, slice and ball shaping.
A More Stable 16mm Response
Its 16mm construction provides greater control, stability and dwell than the 14mm option. The V2 also adds an enhanced outer EVA foam ring and revised carbon layup, helping create a more predictable response while retaining the power-oriented character of the Friction Pro line.
Who It’s For
Choose this version if you want an elongated paddle for attacking reach, pace and spin, but prefer the more controlled and stable response of the 16mm setup over the faster, pop-focused 14mm option.
USA Pickleball approved under the PBCoR .43 standard.
Choose the RPM Friction Pro V2 16mm Elongated for attacking reach, spin support and a more stable 16mm response.
Technology
Technologies of the RPM FRICTION PRO 16 MM Elongated V2 Pickleball Paddle
Tri-Density Core : Tri-Density Core combines three materials with varying densities to balance power with touch and support a solid response toward the edge of the paddle. The construction is designed to deliver energy through attacking shots while maintaining useful control across the hitting area.
DwellZone Sweet-Spot Technology: DwellZone Sweet-Spot Technology uses a tuned internal construction designed to increase dwell time and support control and a softer, more connected feel.
CarbonBite Surface: CarbonBite Surface is a high-friction carbon-fiber surface designed to increase friction between paddle and ball. It supports topspin, slice and ball shaping while retaining control through contact.
Axial Carbon Layup: The Axial Carbon Layup uses strategically aligned carbon fibers to increase dwell time and ball pocketing while supporting efficient energy transfer. The construction is also designed to improve stability, responsiveness and consistency across the paddle face.
