RPM Jade 16mm Wide Body Pickleball Paddle – SICmatrix Durable Grit

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 proprietary SICmatrix 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.
