Overview

The Q2 Hybrid Flat Top takes RPM's full-foam Q Series into a hybrid frame with a squared-off top edge. Co-designed with paddle engineer John Kew, it pairs a moulded EPP foam core with a flat top head shape that pushes the sweet spot higher up the face, so contact near the tip stays connected and powerful. It plays like controlled aggression: predictable pop off the bounce, a firm connected feel at the kitchen, and the reach of a hybrid without the whip of a full elongated.

Highlights

Hybrid flat-top shape: squared top edge lifts the sweet spot toward the tip for a higher, more forgiving strike zone
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
