RPM FRICTION PRO Widebody Pickleball Paddle

The RPM FRICTION PRO Widebody is a premium pickleball paddle designed specifically for professional competition and advanced players, featuring an extra-large sweet spot, superior control, and maximum flexibility. The Friction Pro series was co-designed and engineered by James Ignatowich – a professional pickleball player ranked in the world's top 10, aiming to provide a clear advantage in high-level matches, especially in doubles play.

RPM LABS has combined three core technologies: CarbonBite Surface, DwellZone Sweet-Spot, and Tri-Density Core, to create a paddle with revolutionary performance: more spin, better control, and a superior feel compared to traditional paddles.

Widebody Shape – Optimal Choice for Doubles

The Widebody design offers a significantly larger sweet spot, enhancing forgiveness on off-center hits, while also improving ball pop and stability during fast rallies.

This paddle shape provides the lowest swing weight in the Friction Pro line, allowing for a light swing, quick reflexes, and superior hand speed – extremely advantageous for volleys, hand battles, and firefights at the kitchen line.

With a 16mm core, the RPM Friction Pro Widebody delivers:

• High stability

• Excellent shock absorption (plush feel)

• Precise ball control

• Support for ball-shaping and tactical ball placement

This version is designed for players who prioritize a large sweet spot, control, flexibility, and stability, making it particularly suitable for doubles specialists.

Review from James Ignatowich

“Several professional players think this is our best paddle for doubles. If you’re someone who loves singles, you may miss out on the extra reach you get from the elongated shape. With that being said, the widebody is second to none on the doubles court with our best combination of sweet spot, power, and maneuverability.”

👉 Translation:
Many professional athletes believe this is our best paddle for doubles. If you specialize in singles, you might miss the reach of the elongated shape, but in doubles, the widebody is unparalleled in terms of sweet spot, power, and maneuverability.
