RPM FRICTION PRO 14MM ELONGATED V2 Pickleball Paddle | Ryan Fu Signature Paddle

RPM Friction Pro 14mm Elongated V2 – Ryan Fu Signature

Built for aggressive players who want extra reach, fast hands and filthy spin—now with a V2 layup for even bigger performance.

What’s new in V2

• Axial Carbon Layup + enhanced EVA foam ring: more bite on the ball, more power, and an even larger, more forgiving sweet spot.

• Co-designed with James Ignatowich for pro-level pace and precision.

Why you’ll love it

• 14 mm core = pop & manoeuvrability for speed-ups and counters, with the elongated shape giving effortless leverage in singles and on high balls.

• CarbonBite raw-carbon face + Axial Carbon Layup = serious spin potential (RPM cites 2300+ rpm across Friction Pro).

• Tri-Density Core keeps the face stable out to the edges so off-centre blocks don’t flutter.

• The 14 mm elongated is Ryan Fu’s competition paddle of choice.

The tech, in plain English

• Enhanced EVA foam ring: tunes power and enlarges the sweet spot—more forgiveness when you’re late or stretched.

• Tri-Density Core: three material densities under the hood to keep the paddle solid from centre to edge.
