Description

The RPM Friction Pro fuels your game with unparalleled spin, elite power, and the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the RPM Friction Pro line offers explosive power and surgical precision for professional play. RPM LABS has combined its CarbonBite Surface, DwellZone Sweet-Spot, and its Tri-Density Core technologies to engineer revolutionary performance. 

The Friction Pro’s Widebody shape guarantees a larger sweet spot, enhancing pop and forgiveness on off-balanced mishits. It offers supreme control and maneuverability in the air, enhancing hand speed and volleys—perfect for doubles specialists. This shape also offers our lowest swing weights, resulting in a lighter feel and increased responsiveness for firefights at the kitchen line. With a thinner 14MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers immense power generation and pop, prioritizing reactive power on the court. The Friction Pro 14MM Widebody paddle is designed for players prioritizing sweet-spot size, control, pop, and maneuverability. 

“This is our most maneuverable paddle. It will feel like an extension of your hand. It’s also extremely powerful and versatile.” - James Ignatowich

“Several professional players think this is our best paddle for doubles. If you’re someone who loves singles, you may miss out on the extra reach you get from the elongated shape. With that being said, the widebody is second to none on the doubles court with our best combination of sweet spot, power, and maneuverability.” - James Ignatowich
