This shape gives us extra court coverage and easier depth from the baseline, while still staying quick enough for hand battles and aggressive doubles play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReach is only valuable if the paddle remains stable enough to use it effectively, and that's where the Q2 Elongated separates itself. CarbonBite Surface Technology, the Multi-Zone Hybrid Core, TPU perimeter inserts, and a patent-pending Axial Carbon Layup work together to create a paddle that feels firm, connected, and predictable from baseline drives to quick kitchen exchanges. We found the elongated 16.5in shape particularly effective for generating depth on serves and returns, extending range on defensive gets, and creating sharper angles when attacking from the wings. The choice between thicknesses comes down to response profile. The 14mm delivers faster rebound and more immediate pop, while the 16mm provides additional dwell, stability, and forgiveness throughout the soft game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"the kitchen shop PB","offers":[{"title":"14mm","offer_id":49048067473643,"sku":"RPM104-0001","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16mm","offer_id":49048067506411,"sku":"RPM104-0002","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/4824\/8043\/files\/44329_source_1782164496__61998.1783958782.386.513.jpg?v=1783979871","url":"https:\/\/shop.thekitchenpb.com\/products\/rpm-q2-elongated-pickleball-paddle","provider":"the kitchen shop PB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
