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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Key Features --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px; padding: 18px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"toggle-icon\" style=\"font-size: 18px; transition: transform 0.2s ease;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 18px; border-top: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin: 0; line-height: 1.8; color: #333;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSICmatrix Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e - RPM's proprietary silicon carbide surface is engineered for durable roughness, giving us lasting bite for topspin drives, roll volleys, serves, and dipping counters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPP Floating Core\u003c\/strong\u003e - The full-foam MPP core works with surrounding soft EVA foam to create a connected hitting area while helping resist breakdown and dead spots over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft EVA Foam Perimeter\u003c\/strong\u003e - EVA foam around the perimeter supports the outer hitting area and helps the wide face stay stable when contact moves away from center.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxial Carbon Layup\u003c\/strong\u003e - Carbon reinforcement supports energy transfer, ball pocketing, and stability when we counter pace or accelerate through attacking shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16in x 8in Widebody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e - The broad face increases usable hitting area and lateral stability, while low swing weights keep the paddle quick through fast doubles exchanges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Thickness Options --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; background: #fff;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px; padding: 18px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"toggle-icon\" style=\"font-size: 18px; transition: transform 0.2s ease;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14mm\u003c\/strong\u003e | Quicker Counters and Immediate Pop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 18px 18px 18px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-top: 12px;\"\u003eThe 14mm Jade Widebody is the fastest-handling version of the platform. At 7.7 oz with a 104 swing weight, it is easy to reposition during rapid kitchen exchanges and quick enough to jump on speed-ups before they develop. The 6.8 twist weight gives the broad face plenty of resistance to twisting when contact drifts off center, while the thinner core produces a firmer, faster rebound. This is the version for players who want widebody forgiveness without giving up an aggressive, reactive feel.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; background: #fff;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px; padding: 18px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"toggle-icon\" style=\"font-size: 18px; transition: transform 0.2s ease;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16mm\u003c\/strong\u003e | More Dwell and Settled Stability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 18px 18px 18px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-top: 12px;\"\u003eThe 16mm Jade Widebody adds a little more substance without turning the paddle sluggish. At 7.8 oz with a 107 swing weight and 6.9 twist weight, it stays quick in hand battles while feeling more composed when we absorb pace or drive through contact. The thicker core gives us more dwell on resets, drops, and controlled counters, making it easier to soften incoming speed without losing the pop and spin that define Jade.
