The RPM Q2 is the launch model of RPM’s new Q Series, developed in collaboration with legendary paddle engineer and reviewer, John Kew.
Engineered as a refined full-foam performance paddle, the Q2 was built to deliver a more powerful and predictable response across the face. The Q2 balances controlled aggression, accessible power, and long-term durability.
At its core, the Q2 refines full-foam construction through strategic material tuning. By manipulating foam density, firmness, and rebound characteristics in targeted areas of the paddle, the Q2 delivers enhanced torsional stability, broader forgiveness, and a firm, connected feel preferred by high-level players.
The result is a paddle designed for competitors who value elite power, stability on off-center contact, and predictable performance from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.
Key Features:
- CarbonBite Surface Technology - RPM's high-friction carbon fiber face helps us generate heavier topspin, biting slices, and controlled rolls while maintaining long-term surface durability.
- Multi-Zone Hybrid Core - Fully molded EPP foam with integrated 3mm groove channels promotes controlled flex and a consistent response without creating hot spots across the face.
- TPU Perimeter Inserts - TPU inserts at 9 and 3 o'clock increase torsional stability, helping the paddle resist twisting when we miss slightly toward the edges.
- TPE Neck Inserts - High-density TPE in the neck dampens vibration, lowers the balance point, and adds controlled beam flex for a connected feel without instability.
- Patent Pending Axial Carbon Layup - Proprietary carbon layering creates a more uniform flex profile, helping the paddle feel predictable from the lower face through the upper hitting zone.
