RPM Q2 16mm Hybrid Pickleball Paddle

The RPM Q2 16mm Hybrid brings RPM's full-foam Q Series into a hybrid frame, co-designed with paddle engineer John Kew. A precision-moulded EPP foam core gives it a plush, connected feel and predictable power, while the hybrid shape blends the reach of an elongated with the manoeuvrability of a widebody. Pick your top edge: Flat Top for a higher sweet spot and more power up toward the tip, or Curved Top for a quicker, more forgiving paddle with a traditional feel.

Two top shapes, one core

• Flat Top: squared top edge lifts the sweet spot toward the tip, so contact near the head stays connected and powerful. Best if you want maximum pop and reach.
• Curved Top: rounded top edge keeps the balance a touch more centred and the paddle quick through the hitting zone. Best if you want manoeuvrability and a forgiving, traditional feel.

Highlights

• Full-mould EPP foam core: 16 mm of precision-moulded foam for a plush, connected feel and predictable power
• TPU perimeter inserts: denser and more elastic than standard EVA, tightening torsional twist and widening the sweet spot
• CarbonBite surface: RPM's high-grit carbon fibre finish for heavy topspin and biting slices
• Professional-level Q Series: USAP-approved, tuned for controlled aggression from the baseline to fast kitchen exchanges
