Verdicts
RPM Pickleball Q2 Elongated 16mm
RPM's Gen 4 full-foam Q2 trades the Friction Pro's honeycomb feel for a firmer, more powerful response. The published 114 swing weight is lighter than most elongated power paddles, while the 6.1 twist weight is on the low side for the shape.
Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated 16mm
The V-Sol Tour Elongated combines a floating EPP/EVA foam core with Evergrit at $109.99. The comparison video frames it as the more offense-focused choice against Spitfire. All Paddle DNA scores are editorial estimates, not our laboratory measurements.
