How'd you do? 👀
The RPM 16mm Widebody is my favourite from the V1 Friction Pro lineup — and honestly, it might be the most confidence-inspiring paddle I’ve ever played with.
Here’s why it stands out:
The wide body face essentially turns the entire paddle into a sweet spot. Resets, drops, hands battles — everything just works, without having to think twice about your mechanics.
✅ Drops landing exactly where you want them — angle, spin, depth — every time
✅ Reset hard shots with ease, even under pressure
✅ Finish with power without fear of over-swinging
✅ Lightning fast in hands battles with massive forgiveness
I’ve put this paddle in the hands of brand new players AND competitive pros — and both groups adapted to it immediately. That’s rare.
If you want a paddle that gets out of your way and just lets you play your game — this is the one.
What good is a new paddle without using an @ethospickleball undergrip + @luqigrips overgrip?

The 'sweet spot' isn't just about power. It's a nuanced zone where your T700 carbon face and 16mm core combine for maximum control and stability. Understand this, unlock your game.
Big thanks to @jj.pickleball for giving the Havik 2 the love it deserves on his podcast 👊
A lot of thought, testing, and intention went into this paddle, so hearing that kind of feedback means a ton. You can catch his full comments on YouTube — link in bio. And if you’re ready to try one for yourself, use code JJPB at checkout.

Paddle weighting can completely change how a paddle feels and performs.
In this clip, Justin Barton explains the science behind weighting your paddle and why small adjustments can make a big difference.
Just a small piece of the conversation.
Swing Different.
Your paddle already does a lot. Sometimes it just needs a little help.
Adding weight to your pickleball paddle isn’t about swinging harder. It’s about control, stability, and consistency.
Done right, it can give you cleaner blocks, stronger counters, and a bigger sweet spot. Done wrong… it can feel like you’re swinging a frying pan.
In this video, Lachlan breaks it all down:
- What paddle weights actually do
- Why some players benefit from added weight (and some don’t)
- Where to place weight for power vs stability
- How much to start with (hint: less than you think)
- The common mistakes that make paddles feel worse, not better
Is adding weight for everyone? Nope.
Is it a great option if your paddle feels unstable, twists on off-centre hits, or lacks punch? Very possibly.
We carry lead and tungsten tape at IPOP, and if you’re unsure what to try, ask a coach. We’re happy to help you dial it in instead of guessing.

Developing footwork and body to hit the push dink. Resistance bands are really effective.
