RPM Q2 Pickleball Paddle

The RPM Q2 Series is built for players who want power, stability, and a firm, connected feel. Developed with paddle engineer and reviewer John Kew, the Q2 uses a refined full-foam construction designed to deliver strong energy transfer, a predictable response, and added forgiveness on off-center contact.

RPM’s CarbonBite carbon-fiber surface provides high-level spin while the full-foam construction helps create the solid, stable feel the Q2 line is known for.

The Q2 lineup includes elongated, widebody, hybrid flat-top, and hybrid curve-top shapes, with 14mm and 16mm options available depending on the model.

Best for: aggressive players who want accessible power, strong stability, and a predictable response from baseline drives to fast kitchen exchanges.
