RPM Q2 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle
The Q2 16mm Elongated is RPM's first full-foam paddle — a long frame and thick core for players who want elongated reach with the plush, connected feel of precision-moulded EPP foam. Suits attacking all-court players who want a spin-heavy, predictable response.

Overview
The Q2 is RPM's most ambitious paddle yet — the first in their lineup to ditch honeycomb in favour of a fully moulded EPP foam core, co-designed with paddle engineer John Kew. The 16mm Elongated version pairs that foam construction with a long 16.5 in frame: you get the reach and leverage of an elongated shape, a flatter response across the face, and TPU perimeter inserts that tighten up torsional twist on wide contact. It plays heavier and more connected than the spec sheet suggests.
Highlights
- Full-mould EPP foam core — 3 mm groove channels tuned for uniform flex and a firm, predictable feel
- TPU perimeter inserts — denser and more elastic than standard EVA, reducing twist and widening the sweet spot
- Elongated 16.5 in frame — extra reach for high volleys, drives down the line and singles coverage
- CarbonBite surface — RPM's high-grit fibre finish for heavy topspin and biting slices
