Stock Paddle Description
RPM Q2 — 16mm
Controlled aggression, built for stability. The RPM Q2 is the launch model of RPM's new Q Series, developed with legendary paddle engineer John Kew. Full-foam performance construction gives it a firm, connected feel with strong torsional stability and forgiveness on off-center hits.
Choose your shape: Elongated for added reach and leverage on two-handed backhands, or Widebody for a larger sweet spot and extra maneuverability through fast kitchen exchanges.
