The RPM Q2 is the launch model of RPM’s new Q Series, developed in collaboration with legendary paddle engineer and reviewer, John Kew.

Engineered as a refined full-foam performance paddle, the Q2 was built to deliver a more powerful and predictable response across the face. The Q2 balances controlled aggression, accessible power, and long-term durability.

At its core, the Q2 refines full-foam construction through strategic material tuning. By manipulating foam density, firmness, and rebound characteristics in targeted areas of the paddle, the Q2 delivers enhanced torsional stability, broader forgiveness, and a firm, connected feel preferred by high-level players.

The result is a paddle designed for competitors who value elite power, stability on off-center contact, and predictable performance from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.
