RPM Q2 16MM WIDEBODY Pickleball Paddle
The Q2 16mm Widebody brings RPM's full-foam construction into a wide, doubles-ready frame — a big hitting surface, a thick core for control and TPU perimeter inserts for off-centre stability. Best for doubles players who want maximum forgiveness without losing the Q2's spin and pop.
🎁 Free gift: a Pickld Paddle Cover (worth $19.95) included with this paddle.

Overview
RPM's Q2 line brought full-foam construction into the premium paddle market, and the 16mm Widebody is the most approachable version in the range. A wide 8.0 in face keeps the sweet spot centred for doubles, while the precision-moulded EPP core — co-designed with engineer John Kew — delivers a firm, connected feel that honeycomb paddles rarely match. TPU inserts at the perimeter lock down torsional flex so mishits don't bleed pace or accuracy.
Highlights
- 2310 RPM spin — CarbonBite surface generates heavy topspin without sacrificing durability
- Widebody 8.0 in frame — large, centred sweet spot built for consistent doubles play
- Full-mould EPP foam core — uniform flex across the face with 3 mm groove channels reducing hot spots
- TPU perimeter inserts — tighter torsional stability and a broader effective sweet spot
