RPM
Friction Pro Elongated 16
The RPM Friction Pro Elongated 16 is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a Carbon face. It generates elite spin (90th percentile) with well above-average power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
