Widebody pickleball paddle with CarbonBite Carbon Fiber, Axial Carbon Layup, and Tri-Density Core, available in 14mm and 16mm for quicker pop or added dwell and stability.

Lightweight (14mm) Middleweight (16mm) / Small Grip

RPM Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Tri-Density Core Widebody Pickleball Paddle

The RPM Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Pink Widebody Pickleball Paddle is built around a 16in x 8in face that gives us more room to defend, counter, and attack in fast doubles exchanges. The broad shape resists twisting well on off-center contact, while the relatively low swing weight keeps the paddle quick enough to redirect pace or jump on a speed-up. The 5.5in handle still leaves room for two-handed backhands, and Ella Oh's signature pink design gives this V2 a distinct look without changing the performance platform.

RPM's CarbonBite Surface gives the wide face plenty of grip for rolls, dipping counters, and topspin drives, while Axial Carbon Layup reinforces the face for cleaner energy transfer through contact. Underneath, the Tri-Density Core combines polypropylene honeycomb with multiple foam densities, and the enhanced EVA perimeter helps support the outer hitting area. We feel that combination working especially well on this shape because the sweet spot stays useful across more of the 8in face instead of feeling lively only in the middle. The 14mm turns that stable platform into a quicker, punchier paddle, while the 16mm adds dwell and a calmer response when we need to absorb pace.

+ Key Features
  • CarbonBite Carbon Fiber Surface - RPM's spin-focused face helps us shape roll volleys, topspin drives, serves, and dipping speed-ups while keeping aggressive shots from sailing long.
  • Axial Carbon Layup - The V2 carbon structure reinforces the face and improves energy transfer, helping the paddle stay connected when we counter pace or accelerate through attacking shots.
  • Enhanced EVA Foam Ring - Perimeter foam supports the widebody's large playable sweet spot and helps stabilize contact when the ball lands outside the center of the face.
  • Tri-Density Core - Polypropylene honeycomb and multiple foam densities tune response across the paddle. The center stays lively for pace, while added support toward the perimeter helps off-center blocks, counters, and volleys retain stability and predictable rebound.
  • 16in x 8in Widebody Shape - The broader face creates more usable hitting area and stronger lateral stability, while lower swing weights make the paddle easier to position during rapid doubles exchanges.
+ 14mm | Faster Pop and Quicker Hands
The 14mm version gives the Ella Oh Widebody its fastest response. At 7.8 oz with a 105 swing weight, it is easy to get into position during hand battles and quick counters, while the 7.1 twist weight helps the face stay stable when contact moves away from center. The thinner core releases the ball quickly, giving speed-ups, punches, and attacking volleys a crisp, immediate response. This is the version for players who want the forgiveness of a widebody but still like to play aggressively and win exchanges with hand speed.
+ 16mm | More Dwell, Stability, and Composure
The 16mm version keeps the widebody forgiveness but adds a more settled feel through contact. At 7.9 oz with a 110 swing weight and 7.3 twist weight, it carries a little more steadily through the ball while remaining manageable in quick exchanges. The thicker core gives us more dwell and shock absorption when blocking pace, resetting from transition, or taking speed off a counter. Players who want a broad, stable face with a calmer response and more forgiveness in the soft game should lean toward this version.

Expert Review
"This is the V2 I want when hand speed and forgiveness matter most. The 14mm jumps off the face, while the 16mm feels calmer without making the paddle feel sluggish."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the difference between the 14mm and 16mm RPM Friction Pro V2 Ella Oh Widebody?
The 14mm rebounds faster and carries a lower 105 swing weight, making counters, speed-ups, and quick exchanges feel especially immediate. The 16mm adds dwell, shock absorption, and a more composed response while keeping the broad stability of the widebody shape.
+ Is the Ella Oh version different from the standard Friction Pro V2 Widebody?
The Ella Oh edition uses the same Friction Pro V2 performance platform and technologies, wrapped in the signature pink design created for Ella Oh. You get the same CarbonBite Surface, Axial Carbon Layup, enhanced EVA foam ring, and Tri-Density Core.
+ Why choose the Widebody shape?
The 16in x 8in face gives us more hitting area and strong resistance to twisting on off-center contact. Its lower swing weight also makes it easier to get the paddle into position during counters, blocks, and quick kitchen exchanges, making the widebody especially useful for fast doubles play.
+ How does the Ella Oh Widebody compare to the Ella Oh Elongated?
The Widebody gives us more face area, higher twist weight, and quicker handling. The Elongated trades some of that forgiveness for extra reach and leverage on drives, overheads, and balls taken farther out in front.
+ How does the Friction Pro V2 compare to the RPM Jade?
The Friction Pro V2 centers its performance around CarbonBite spin, Axial Carbon Layup, and a Tri-Density Core that blends polypropylene honeycomb with multiple foam densities. Jade is RPM's full-foam alternative, using an MPP floating core and SICmatrix surface with a stronger emphasis on durable surface roughness and explosive full-foam response.
