TPU Perimeter Inserts (9 & 3 o’clock): Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) inserts are strategically placed at the perimeter to increase torsional stability and broaden the effective sweet spot. Denser and more elastic than traditional EVA foam, TPU enhances energy return while reducing twisting on off-center shots, creating a more stable, forgiving hitting experience.
TPE Neck Inserts with Tuned Beam Flex: High-density thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) inserts in the neck area add vibration dampening and preserve softness.
Patent Pending Axial Carbon Layup: The Q2 features a patent pending, proprietary carbon fiber layup engineered to encourage a more uniform flex pattern across the face. This construction helps flatten the response curve compared to traditional diving-board-style foam builds, promoting more consistent performance from the upper to lower hitting zones.
USAP Approved.
Description
RPM Q2 16mm Hybrid Flat Top Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Elevate your dynamic court play with the ultimate balance of aggressive power and surgical control—the RPM Q2 is engineered to reshape your entire game with next-generation stability!
Paddle Benefits
The RPM Q2 16mm Hybrid Flat Top Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle delivers exceptional performance by merging a versatile 16.3” hybrid length with a forgiving 7.7” width. Crafted for players who demand consistency from every area of the face, this paddle utilizes a Patent Pending Axial Carbon Layup. This proprietary construction flattens the overall flex curve compared to traditional foam builds, ensuring a uniform, reliable response whether you strike the ball in the upper target zone or lower on the face.
To maximize control on mis-hits, perimeter-weighted TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) inserts are strategically embedded at 3 and 9 o’clock. Denser and more elastic than standard EVA, these inserts boost energy return while preventing frame twisting to drastically expand your sweet spot. High-density TPE inserts in the neck actively absorb harsh vibrations and preserve a plush, controlled feel at impact. Combining top-tier torsional stability, reduced arm fatigue, and raw carbon precision, the RPM Q2 is a powerhouse option built to excel at both the kitchen line and the baseline.
