Verdicts
RPM Pickleball Jade Elongated 16mm
A spin- and touch-focused alternative to the Q2, not a universal upgrade. RPM lists a 112 swing weight and 6.2 twist weight. Our estimated DNA suggests a calmer soft game than the Q2, while the Q2 retains the stronger power/pop profile. Long-term SICmatrix grit retention has not been independently verified here.
Spartus Spitfire Elongated 16mm
A lower-price elongated power design with listed swing weight 116, quicker handling than Cannon’s nominal 122, and similar twist-weight territory. Turbo Foam and QuadFiber target power with dwell and touch; our DNA is estimated, not a measured same-lab comparison.
