Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Rose 16mm - Elongated

The RPM Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Pink 16 mm is a performance paddle developed for players looking for a blend of power, spin, control, and stability in an elongated shape.

This signature edition takes the Friction Pro V2 platform and wraps it in a distinctive pink finish, with a construction geared toward advanced and competitive play.

A V2 designed for even more performance

The Friction Pro V2 improves upon the previous generation with the addition of an Axial Carbon Layup and an optimized EVA foam ring.

This combination is designed to provide:

• more spin;
• better power transmission;
• a more generous sweet spot;
• a more stable feel at impact;
• better ball control in offensive play.

CarbonBite Surface

The Friction Pro V2 uses a CarbonBite carbon fiber surface developed to increase friction between the ball and the paddle face.

This technology specifically promotes:

• powerful topspins;
• slices;
• roll volleys;
• spin drives;
• attacks requiring high trajectory control.

Spin is clearly one of this paddle's strengths.

DwellZone Sweet-Spot Technology

DwellZone technology is designed to increase contact time between the ball and the paddle while expanding the sweet spot.

This more enveloping feel helps to better control available power and provides more forgiveness on off-center hits.

Tri-Density Core

The Tri-Density core combines several material densities to improve the stability and solidity of the paddle out to the edges of the face.

This construction aims to offer explosive energy transfer while maintaining a more uniform response over a larger hitting area.

Axial Carbon Layup

The V2 version incorporates RPM's Axial Carbon Layup.

This carbon construction, combined with the improved EVA foam ring, aims to reinforce stability, the sweet spot, and the paddle's ability to generate power and spin.

Elongated shape for more reach

With a length of 16.5 inches and a width of 7.5 inches, this elongated version provides more reach on high balls, volleys, and singles exchanges.

Its shape also favors good paddle head acceleration and increased power on drives.

The 16 mm core adds stability and better shock absorption, which helps maintain a more controllable feel despite the paddle's high offensive potential.

For what type of player?

The RPM Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Pink 16 mm will be particularly suitable for the player seeking:

• lots of spin;
• high but controllable power;
• more reach thanks to the elongated shape;
• good stability during fast exchanges;
• a generous sweet spot;
• a softer feel than a 14 mm version;
• a handle suited for two-handed backhands;
• a paddle oriented toward aggressive and competitive play.

It is particularly interesting for players who like to dictate the pace with their drives while maintaining enough control for transition play and kitchen exchanges.
