RPM Friction Pro V2 Hybrid Flat Top — 16mm
The RPM Friction Pro V2 in the shape a lot of players asked RPM for, in James Ignatowich's signature black-and-red colorway. The hybrid flat top splits the difference between an elongated and a widebody: enough length to reach high balls and attack out of the air, with a wider face that keeps the sweet spot forgiving. Squaring off the head pushes mass toward the tip, which is where the plow-through on drives comes from. This one is the 16mm core, the more stable and forgiving option with a plusher reset.
Best For
Advanced players who want the V2's power and spin but have never fully gotten along with a true elongated — at a pre-owned price on a paddle still in its retail sleeve.
Why Players Like It
- James Ignatowich signature model — black-and-red colorway
- CarbonBite carbon fiber surface — RPM's grit-optimized face, built to grab the ball for heavy spin
- Axial Carbon Layup — the V2's structural update over the original Friction Pro, for longer dwell time and better ball pocketing
- Tri-Density core — three densities working together for a bigger sweet spot and solidity out to the edge
- Hybrid flat top shape — elongated reach with widebody forgiveness
