The best widebodies give us margin without making us late. The RPM Jade Widebody Foam Pickleball Paddle uses a 16in x 8in shape to create a broad hitting area while keeping swing weight low enough for counters, blocks, and hand battles. With swing weights of 104 in the 14mm and 107 in the 16mm, this shape gets into position quickly while still giving us enough mass to drive through the ball. Jade pairs that doubles-friendly geometry with RPM's newest full-foam platform and a surface built around long-lasting spin.
The MPP Floating Core sits inside surrounding soft EVA foam, helping the face feel connected from center toward the edges while resisting the breakdown and dead spots that can develop over time. RPM's proprietary SICmatrix silicon carbide surface adds durable roughness for rolls, dipping counters, serves, and topspin drives, while Axial Carbon Layup supports energy transfer and stability through contact. The 14mm turns the widebody into the quickest, most reactive Jade for hand battles and early attacks. The 16mm adds a little more swing weight, dwell, and stability for players who want the same broad hitting area with a calmer response on blocks, resets, and controlled counters.
