About the Friction Pro
From RPM
The RPM Friction Pro fuels your game with unparalleled spin, elite power, and the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the RPM Friction Pro line offers explosive power and surgical precision for professional play. RPM LABS has combined its CarbonBite Surface, DwellZone Sweet-Spot, and its Tri-Density Core technologies to engineer revolutionary performance.
The Friction Pro’s Widebody shape guarantees a larger sweet spot, enhancing pop and forgiveness on off-balanced mishits. It offers supreme control and maneuverability in the air, enhancing hand speed and volleys—perfect for doubles specialists. This shape also offers our lowest swing weights, resulting in a lighter feel and increased responsiveness for firefights at the kitchen line. With a thinner 14mm core, this high-performance paddle delivers immense power generation and pop, prioritizing reactive power on the court. The Friction Pro 14mm Widebody paddle is designed for players prioritizing sweet-spot size, control, pop, and maneuverability.
“This is our most maneuverable paddle. It will feel like an extension of your hand. It’s also extremely powerful and versatile.” - James Ignatowich
