RPM Q2 Wide Body

The fast-hands specialist. At 8″ wide with the lowest swing weight (107) and highest twist weight (6.9) in the Q2 line, the Wide Body is the most manoeuvrable and most forgiving of the three — the biggest sweet spot and the quickest reactions in hand battles and speed-ups. Same CarbonBite spin and full-foam power, in the easiest-to-swing package.

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.
