The RPM Friction Pro V2 utilizes new technology to improve upon 2025’s paddle of the year, the RPM Friction Pro. The V2 includes RPM’s new Axial Carbon Layup, coupled with an enhanced EVA foam ring to generate elite spin & power and enhance the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the RPM 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 Friction Pro’s hybrid shape splits the difference between elongated and widebody play. It keeps enough added length for reach on high balls and volley attacks, while a wider face preserves the broad, forgiving sweet spot that widebody players rely on. The flat top profile squares off the head of the paddle, distributing mass toward the top of the face for added stability and plow-through on drives. With a thicker 16MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers increased stability and plush shock absorption, with elite power that feels controllable. The Friction Pro 16MM Hybrid Flat Top is designed for players who want elongated reach and power without giving up the forgiveness and control of a wider face.

Preorder: The V2 Hybrid Flat Top is available for preorder now. Orders will ship as soon as the first production run lands — see the shipping estimate on this page for the current date.

🚚 Shipping Options

We offer flexible shipping options to meet your needs and timeline.

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on:

  • Package weight and dimensions
  • Shipping destination

You'll be able to choose from the shipping methods available for your order during checkout. Standard, expedited, and express options may be available depending on your location and order size.

🌎 Shipping to Canada: Shipping charges are calculated at checkout. Canadian orders may be subject to customs fees, duties, and taxes unless checkout shows those charges as prepaid. Any charges assessed at delivery are the customer's responsibility.


🎁 Free Economy Shipping

U.S. orders with a merchandise subtotal over $75 qualify for free economy shipping. The $75 threshold is calculated after discounts and before taxes.

Free economy shipping generally arrives within 3–8 business days after shipment, and tracking is included.

Need your gear sooner? No problem. You may upgrade to another available shipping method during checkout at your own cost.

Canadian orders do not qualify for free economy shipping; shipping charges are calculated at checkout.


⏱️ Order Processing

We aim to get your order on its way quickly.

  • Orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
  • Please allow 1–2 business days for order processing.
  • A shipping confirmation and tracking number will be emailed once your order ships.

Where an order ships from may vary by product, including items shipped directly by a brand or fulfillment partner.

If we cannot ship your order within the promised timeframe, we will contact you with a revised date. You may accept the revised date or cancel the affected order for a full refund.


📬 Delivery Expectations

Delivery timeframes depend on the shipping method and destination. While we process orders promptly, please keep the following in mind:

  • Delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees.
  • Weather, customs delays, carrier disruptions, and other unexpected events may affect arrival time.
  • Once the carrier has your package, transit timing is outside our direct control—but we will still help if your package is delayed, missing, or damaged.

Tucker Pickleball is responsible for your order until the carrier records it as delivered to the shipping address provided at checkout. After carrier-recorded delivery, the customer is responsible for loss or theft from the delivery location.

We remain responsible if an order arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or otherwise does not match what was ordered. If there is a shipping problem, please contact us and we will work to resolve it, including handling any necessary carrier claim.
