The RPM Friction Pro Widebody is a professional-grade pickleball paddle designed to deliver maximum spin, controlled power, and stability. Developed in collaboration with top 10 world player James Ignatowich, it is designed to meet the demands of modern competitive play.
Thanks to advanced RPM LABS technologies, this paddle combines an innovative approach to performance with a precise and explosive playing feel.
It integrates CarbonBite Surface technology, the DwellZone Sweet Spot system, and a Tri-Density Core. Together, these elements improve shot consistency, forgiveness, and control in all playing situations.
The Widebody shape offers an enlarged sweet spot, which improves forgiveness on off-center shots. In addition, it allows for better maneuverability in fast exchanges, particularly at the net.
Thus, the paddle becomes ideal for doubles play, where reaction speed and stability are essential.
With its reduced swing weight, the Friction Pro Widebody offers a light and responsive feel. As a result, players benefit from excellent hand speed, especially in fast net exchanges.
Its 16mm core adds an extra layer of stability. It also improves shock absorption, allowing for better ball control and a softer feel on impact.
The RPM Friction Pro Widebody is ideal for players who prioritize doubles play, consistency, and precision. It offers an excellent balance of control, speed, and stability.
According to James Ignatowich, this Widebody version is one of the best options for doubles play thanks to its generous sweet spot and superior maneuverability.
