Built for players who want maximum forgiveness without giving up offensive capability, the RPM Q2 Widebody Pickleball Paddle uses a compact 16in x 8in widebody shape to create a larger sweet spot, faster hand speed, and more consistent performance during fast-paced doubles exchanges. The broad face makes resets, blocks, and counterattacks feel more accessible while still providing enough power to finish points when opportunities appear.
Developed with paddle engineer and reviewer John Kew, the Q2 introduces RPM's refined approach to full-foam construction. The combination of CarbonBite Surface Technology, a Multi-Zone Hybrid Core, TPU perimeter inserts, TPE neck inserts, and a patent-pending Axial Carbon Layup creates a firm, connected response with impressive stability across the face. Whether we're driving from the baseline, countering speed-ups, or defending hard-hit balls at the kitchen, the Q2 delivers a predictable response that rewards aggressive play without feeling erratic. The 14mm offers a quicker, more explosive release, while the 16mm adds dwell time, forgiveness, and a more settled feel through contact.
