Overview
The RPM Friction Pro V2 introduces new technology designed to elevate spin, power, and consistency for advanced play. Featuring RPM's new Axial Carbon Layup paired with an enhanced EVA foam ring, this paddle delivers elite performance with one of the largest and most forgiving sweet spots on the market. Co-designed with top-10 world–ranked professional James Ignatowich, the Friction Pro V2 is engineered for players who demand confidence at high swing speeds.
RPM LABS combines its CarbonBite Surface, Axial Carbon Layup, and Tri-Density Core to produce a connected, controlled feel through contact. The CarbonBite surface generates elite spin, while the thicker 16mm core adds stability and plush shock absorption, allowing aggressive swings without sacrificing touch.
An elongated shape provides added reach and leverage, making the Friction Pro V2 especially effective on serves, drives, volleys, and singles play. Designed for players who prioritize power, reach, and controlled aggression, the RPM Friction Pro V2 delivers a refined, tour-level performance feel.
