RPM Q2 Hybrid

The best-of-both shape. The Hybrid sits between the elongated and the widebody — extra reach and a swing weight of 114 for power, but a squarer, more controlled face than a true elongated. Choose your top:

• Flat Top — more surface up top for reach and power on high contact.
• Curve Top — a rounded aero top for a touch more manoeuvrability.

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.

USA Pickleball (USAP) approved, PBCoR .43, professional class, and backed by RPM’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
