RPM Jade 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle

RPM Jade 16mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle

$269.99 USD

The RPM Jade is the newest addition to RPM's full-foam lineup, built around a single obsession: spin that lasts.

Engineered as a power paddle with exceptional spin, the Jade delivers explosive pop balanced by a level of predictability and touch that rewards precise, high-level play.

At the heart of the Jade is our MPP floating core. This full-foam construction is engineered to resist the breakdown and dead spots that wear down other paddles over time. The floating MPP core is surrounded by soft EVA foam, tuned for elite power, an oversized sweet spot, and long-term durability.

But the true star of the Jade is its grit. At RPM, we're always in the pursuit of more—and Tier 1 durable roughness has been on our radar for a very long time. We went through prototype after prototype, refining and testing until we landed on a surface we're genuinely proud of: one that generates elite spin and, critically, holds it—shot after shot, season after season. With our SICmatrix silicon carbide surface, the Jade generates spin most paddles can't match and keeps generating it far longer than paddles that smooth out and fade with use.

The result is a paddle designed for players who want elite spin that doesn't wear down, explosive power they can control, and predictable performance from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.

Product Overview

Story

The RPM Jade Pickleball Paddle represents everything we stand for. RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute, and spin has been our driving force from day one. It was our first priority as a company, and it's the standard we hold every paddle to.

So when the industry moved toward Tier 1 durable grit, falling behind was never an option. Spin is our name. We couldn't let it fade. Our engineers at RPM LABS went through prototype after prototype in the pursuit of a surface that delivers elite spin and holds it—grit that lasts far longer than anything we'd built before.

James Ignatowich tested it, refined it, and tested it again, until it met the standard he plays at. Then we sent it to John Kew, legendary paddle engineer and reviewer, who put it through his ball cannon and confirmed what we set out to prove: the Jade's SICmatrix surface delivers true Tier 1 durable grit.

Features

MPP Floating Core

The Jade's MPP floating core is engineered for elite control and long-term durability. This full-foam construction delivers a connected, responsive feel across the entire face while resisting the breakdown and dead spots that wear down ordinary paddles over time.

SICmatrix Surface at Tier 1 Durable Roughness

Our SICmatrix surface technology uses silicon carbide—one of the hardest materials available—to create extremely long-lasting grit. Rated at Tier 1 durable roughness, it generates elite spin and, critically, keeps generating it. Where most paddle surfaces smooth out and lose bite over months of play, the SICmatrix holds its texture, so your topspin, slices, and roll shots stay sharp far longer.

Axial Carbon Layup

Our Axial Carbon Layup provides elite dwell time and superior ball pocketing, giving you the control to place the ball exactly where you want it. Strategically aligned carbon fibers maximize energy transfer for greater stability, responsiveness, and consistent performance across the entire face.
