RPM Q2 Elongated

The reach-and-power option. The elongated Q2 puts mass and length behind the ball — a swing weight of 114 gives you leverage on drives, counters, and put-aways, while RPM’s CarbonBite surface loads up the heavy topspin the brand is built on. For attacking players who play from the baseline and want the longest reach in the line.

RPM — Revolutions Per Minute — builds paddles around one obsession: spin. The Q2 is the launch model of RPM’s Q Series, developed with paddle engineer and reviewer John Kew. It’s a refined full-foam performance paddle:

• CarbonBite surface (by RPM Labs) — engineered for heavy, durable grit and elite spin that holds up.
• Multi-zone hybrid core — molded EPP foam with 3mm integrated groove channels for controlled, predictable flex.
• TPU perimeter inserts at 3 & 9 o’clock — a wider, more stable sweet spot and less twisting on off-centre hits.
• TPE neck inserts — vibration dampening and a lower balance point for quicker hands.
• Patent-pending axial carbon layup — a more uniform response across the face.
