RPM Friction Pro V2 14mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle

Love Pickle ProShop review

This is the thinner core version of the Friction Pro V2, the elongated 14mm model chosen by pro Ryan Fu for tournament play. It shares the Axial Carbon Layup, enhanced EVA Foam Ring, CarbonBite surface and Tri Density Core of the 16mm, but trades some plushness for pop, rebound speed and manoeuvrability at a 7.8 oz average weight.

Who it suits

• Aggressive players who attack every point
• Kitchen players who rely on fast hand speed
• Players who want reach plus a livelier 14mm response

Pairs well with

• RPM Friction Pro V2 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle
