Jade 16mm - Elongated

The RPM Jade 16 mm is a performance paddle designed for players seeking a blend of explosive power, control, and above all, exceptional spin.

Its full foam construction with a floating MPP core provides a solid and responsive feel across the entire hitting surface, while offering a generous sweet spot and excellent stability. The EVA foam surrounding the core helps maintain a consistent response and reduces dead spots over time.

A surface designed to maintain its spin

The great feature of the Jade is its proprietary SICmatrix surface, developed to provide an extremely durable level of grit.

Unlike surfaces that gradually lose their texture with use, the SICmatrix technology is designed to retain its bite for longer, making it possible to generate tremendous rotation on topspins, slices, rolls, and third-shot attacks.

For players who use spin extensively to create angles and put pressure on their opponent, the Jade offers a particularly interesting combination of ball grip and controllable power.

MPP Floating Core construction

The full foam MPP floating core provides a connected and uniform feel at impact.

This construction allows for:

• a more generous sweet spot;

• excellent stability;

• a consistent response across the entire face;

• high power without an uncontrollable feel;

• improved structural durability.

Axial Carbon Layup

The Axial Carbon Layup carbon construction promotes excellent dwell time with the ball and good pocketing.

The result is a paddle capable of producing plenty of acceleration when needed, while retaining enough touch for resets, drops, and quick play at the kitchen.

Playing profile

The Jade is particularly aimed at players who want:

• plenty of spin;

• an offensive paddle with excellent acceleration;

• to maintain control in the transition game;

• an elongated shape offering more reach;

• a surface designed to maintain its texture longer.

Its 16.5-inch elongated format combined with a 5.5-inch handle also suits players using a two-handed backhand very well.
