Description

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.

What's inside the RPM JadeThe technology, in plain English

SICmatrix Surface

Silicon carbide grit rated Tier 1 for durable roughness. It bites the ball for heavy spin, and it keeps biting — the texture holds up instead of smoothing out after a few months.

MPP Floating Core

A full-foam MPP core built to resist breakdown and dead spots over time, so the paddle you play in month six feels like the one you unboxed.

Axial Carbon Layup

Carbon fibers aligned on purpose rather than at random, for elite dwell time and the kind of ball pocketing that makes resets and drops feel easy.

Elongated Shape

16.5″ × 7.5″. The longer face gives you more reach and more leverage on drives, put-aways and stretch volleys, with a tighter sweet spot that rewards clean contact.

FAQ About the Jade Series

What is the difference between the 14mm and 16mm?
The 14mm has more pop off the face — quicker drives, counters and put-aways. The 16mm adds dwell time for shot shaping, resets and heavy topspin.

Get the 14mm if you play aggressive and want to hit through your opponents. Get the 16mm if you want a more balanced, forgiving feel while keeping the spin the Jade is known for.
Elongated vs Widebody — which one should I get?
Elongated: Built for players who want the most reach and power. You give up a little sweet spot for more leverage on drives, put-aways and stretch volleys. Most often recommended for more experienced players.

Widebody: Built for forgiveness and quick hands. The bigger sweet spot and higher twist weight make it a strong doubles paddle, whether you're resetting through the transition zone or in a hands battle at the kitchen.
Jade vs Q2 — what's the difference?
Both are RPM full-foam paddles. The Q2 is tuned for power and a firm, connected feel. The Jade trades a little of that pop for a silicon carbide (SICmatrix) surface built around one thing: spin that lasts. If you want the most power, pick the Q2. If you want the grittiest, longest-lasting spin, pick the Jade.
Does the grit wear off?
Much slower than a sprayed or peel-ply surface. SICmatrix uses silicon carbide particles embedded in the face and is rated Tier 1 for durable roughness, so the spin holds up through extended play instead of fading after a few months. Like any paddle, keep it clean — a carbon fiber eraser clears ball fuzz and keeps the grit biting.
How does the warranty work?
Every RPM Jade is backed by RPM's Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring your paddle is protected against manufacturing defects for the life of the product. Built with premium materials and engineered for long-term performance, the Jade is designed to maintain its structural integrity and playability over time.

Warranty claims are handled by the manufacturer, and each brand sets its own terms. If you believe that your paddle has a warranty issue, reach out to warranty@rpmpb.com to start a claim.
