Details

Elongated pickleball paddle with SICmatrix surface, MPP Floating Core, and Axial Carbon Layup, available in 14mm and 16mm for faster launch or a more connected, controlled response.

Lightweight / Small Grip

RPM Jade Elongated MPP Floating Foam Core Pickleball Paddle

Extra reach is only useful if we can turn it into offense. The RPM Jade Elongated Foam Pickleball Paddle uses a 16.5in x 7.5in shape to give us more leverage on drives and overheads, plus extra coverage when we are attacking balls farther out in front. The elongated profile helps us create depth and pace through full swings, while the 112 swing weight in both thicknesses keeps the paddle from feeling overly demanding. Jade pairs that attacking shape with a full-foam build and a surface designed to keep producing spin long after typical grit begins to fade.

The MPP Floating Core sits inside surrounding soft EVA foam, creating a broad, connected hitting area while helping resist the breakdown and dead spots that can develop over time. Axial Carbon Layup supports energy transfer and stability through contact, while the proprietary SICmatrix silicon carbide surface gives us the roughness to bend topspin drives, rolls, and attacking angles back into the court. The 14mm version feels firmer and more immediate, making it easier to create quick pace off counters and aggressive swings. The 16mm adds a little more mass, dwell, and torsional stability for players who want the same elongated offense with a calmer response through blocks, resets, and controlled attacks.

+ Key Features
  • SICmatrix Surface - RPM's proprietary silicon carbide surface is built around durable roughness, giving us strong bite for topspin drives, rolls, serves, and dipping attacks while maintaining that texture longer through repeated play.
  • MPP Floating Core - The full-foam core works with surrounding soft EVA foam to create a connected response across the face while helping resist the breakdown and dead spots that can develop over time.
  • Soft EVA Foam Perimeter - EVA foam around the perimeter supports the edges and enlarges the usable sweet spot, helping off-center contact retain stability and predictable rebound.
  • Axial Carbon Layup - Carbon reinforcement works with the foam construction to support energy transfer, ball pocketing, and stability when we accelerate through drives or absorb incoming pace.
  • 16.5in x 7.5in Elongated Shape - The longer profile gives us added reach and leverage for baseline drives, overheads, singles coverage, and attacking balls farther out in front.
+ 14mm | Faster Rebound and Crisper Pop
The 14mm Jade Elongated is the firmer, more immediate version. At 7.7 oz with a 112 swing weight, it accelerates cleanly through drives and overheads while the thinner core gets the ball off the face quickly on counters and speed-ups. We still get the reach and leverage of the 16.5in shape, but the response feels sharper when we attack early or redirect pace. This is the better fit for players who want Jade's full-foam power and durable spin with the quickest release. Compared with the 16mm, there is less dwell and a slightly less settled feel on softer contact.
+ 16mm | More Dwell, Stability, and Connection
The 16mm Jade Elongated keeps the same 112 swing weight while adding a little more mass and stability through contact. At 7.8 oz with a 6.2 twist weight, it feels more settled when we block hard pace, reset from transition, or shape a controlled third-shot drop. The thicker core gives the ball a little more time on the face, which helps us manage Jade's offensive response without losing the leverage and put-away potential of the elongated shape. This is the version for players who want full-foam power and spin with a slightly softer, more composed feel.

Expert Review
"The Jade feels like RPM pushing into a different kind of performance. We get the reach of an elongated paddle, but the full-foam construction and SICmatrix surface give it a distinctly new feel."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the difference between the 14mm and 16mm RPM Jade Elongated?
The 14mm gives us a firmer response and faster rebound for counters, speed-ups, and aggressive drives. The 16mm adds dwell and stability, making resets, blocks, and controlled attacks feel more settled. Both carry the same 112 swing weight, so the choice is more about response and feel than a major change in swing speed.
+ What makes the SICmatrix surface different?
SICmatrix uses a high-friction silicon carbide surface built around durable roughness. It gives us the bite to shape heavy topspin and attacking angles, with an emphasis on keeping that useful texture longer instead of quickly smoothing out with play.
+ What does the MPP Floating Core do?
Jade uses a full-foam MPP core with surrounding soft EVA foam. That construction creates a broad, connected hitting area and is designed to resist the internal breakdown and dead spots that can change how a paddle responds over time.
+ How does the Jade compare to the RPM Friction Pro V2?
Jade is RPM's full-foam option, built around the MPP Floating Core and SICmatrix surface for explosive response and long-lasting surface roughness. The Friction Pro V2 uses a polypropylene-and-foam Tri-Density Core with CarbonBite, giving it a different, more traditional core response while still emphasizing spin and offensive play.
+ Who should choose the Jade Elongated shape?
Jade Elongated makes the most sense for players who use reach and leverage to create offense. The 16.5in shape helps on drives, overheads, singles coverage, and balls taken farther out in front, while the full-foam construction adds the solid response and spin potential that define the Jade platform.
