RPM V2 Blackout Pickleball Paddle

The Blackout V2 utilizes new technology to improve upon 2025’s paddle of the year, the RPM Friction Pro. It features RPM’s new Axial Carbon Layup, paired with an enhanced EVA foam ring, to generate elite spin & power and expand the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the Friction Pro line was engineered with professional, advanced play in mind. RPM LABS has combined its CarbonBite Surface, Axial Carbon Layup, and Tri-Density Core technologies to engineer revolutionary performance for every player.

The Blackout V2 brings that same professional-grade performance to a stealth, all-black finish, available across every core thickness and paddle shape RPM offers so you can choose the combination that fits your game.

“This paddle is for anyone. It’s forgiving, and controllable, but the top end power and spin are elite.” - James Ignatowich

This paddle is UPA approved only.
