Overview
Most paddles ask you to pick between reach and power. The Friction Pro 14mm Elongated V2 refuses the trade-off — an elongated frame gives you the extra length for high volleys and big drives, while the 14 mm Axial Carbon core keeps rebound speed fierce and the swing weight manageable. This is the paddle Ryan Fu competes with, re-engineered from the ground up for the V2 with a refined carbon layup and updated EVA foam ring.
Highlights
- Elongated 16.5 in frame — extended reach for high balls, wide volleys and singles coverage
- 14 mm core — faster rebound and sharper pop than 16 mm builds
- 2300+ RPM spin — CarbonBite surface with Axial Carbon Layup generates elite topspin and slice
- Swing weight 113 — balanced for aggressive play without feeling arm-heavy through long rallies
The pro behind it
Ryan Fu is a US-based professional and one of the faster-rising names on the APP and MLP circuits. He chose the 14mm elongated shape because it mirrors the feel of a tennis racquet — long, precise and loaded for power. The V2 is his direct input into RPM's engineering team: more pop, cleaner layup, same competition DNA.
