Version · 4 optionsQ2 WidebodyChange

The RPM Q2 Widebody pickleball paddle has a wide shape and full-foam construction, and was developed with paddle engineer John Kew. It has a high-friction CarbonBite carbon face and a multi-zone hybrid core of molded EPP with channels, which give controlled flex and consistent response. TPU inserts on the perimeter, at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, increase torsional stability and the sweet spot, and TPE inserts in the throat reduce vibration. It measures 16 in by 8 in, with 14 mm and 16 mm versions.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
