The RPM Friction Pro Elongated gives attacking players the reach, leverage, and confidence to swing freely without losing control. At 16.5" long with a 5.5" handle, it extends your range on serves, drives, and two-handed backhands, while keeping every ball on a predictable, controlled trajectory.

What stands out is the feel: a connected, linear response that stays smooth through contact instead of launching balls unpredictably like some stiffer Gen 4 paddles. The CarbonBite surface grabs the ball for elite-level spin, but what makes it special is the consistency, you get the same grip and bite whether you're rolling a dink or ripping a passing shot.

The Tri-Density foam core adds flex through the throat and stability across the face, shifting the sweet spot slightly lower for a more traditional impact zone and steadier feedback. It plays solid through contact yet stays maneuverable thanks to its lighter stock weight (~7.9 oz), easily adjustable with lead tape for players who want extra plow-through.

Choose Your Feel

• 14 mm – Quicker off the face with a crisper rebound, ideal for singles or aggressive counter-punchers.
