RPM Friction Pro Pickleball Paddle

Unleash Your Game With Explosive Spin, Power & Precision

Designed for elite-level play and serious competitors, the RPM Friction Pro redefines performance on the pickleball court. Co-developed by world-class professional player James Ignatowich, this paddle blends cutting-edge innovation with pro-grade control, delivering a game-changing mix of power, spin, and responsiveness.

Next-Level Performance Technology

⚡ Unmatched Spin With CarbonBite Surface

The proprietary CarbonBite carbon fiber surface is engineered to maximize the coefficient of friction, unlocking levels of spin you’ve never accessed before. Whether shaping heavy topspin drives or aggressive roll-volley shots, this paddle gives you the edge in ball control and shot manipulation.

🎯 Enhanced Sweet Spot — DwellZone Technology

By optimizing dwell time, the internal DwellZone construction creates a larger, more forgiving sweet spot. You’ll enjoy plush feel and superb control, making powerful drives and soft touch shots feel equally natural.

🧠 Tri-Density Core Engineered for Precision

The Tri-Density Core at the heart of the Friction Pro expertly balances stability, power, and responsiveness. This multi-material design improves energy transfer and delivers a confident, controlled feel across all areas of the face.
