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.
Widebody Shape
16″ × 8″. The wider face brings a bigger sweet spot, more stability on off-center hits and quicker hands at the kitchen.
FAQ About the Jade Series
What is the difference between the 14mm and 16mm?
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?
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?
Does the grit wear off?
How does the warranty work?
