Co-Designed by James Ignatowich. Engineered for Professional Play. The RPM Friction Pro Widebody redefines what’s possible on the pickleball court. Built in collaboration with James Ignatowich, a top-10 world‑ranked professional, this paddle combines explosive power with surgical precision for elite performance.

Featuring RPM LABS’ CarbonBite Surface, DwellZone Sweet-Spot, and Tri-Density Core technologies, the Friction Pro delivers unmatched spin, stability, and control. Its Widebody shape guarantees a larger sweet spot, enhancing forgiveness on off-balance shots while offering supreme manoeuvrability and hand speed-perfect for doubles specialists.

With a 16mm core, the paddle provides plush shock absorption and stability, prioritising ball-shaping and consistency.
