This fiberglass pickleball paddle face loads energy quickly and releases it with explosive pop, giving you powerful drives, deeper returns, and fast putaways with less physical effort.

RPM Grit Texture for Shot-Shaping Spin

The paddle face is coated with Babolat’s RPM Grit technology – a rough, textured surface engineered for maximum spin generation. This gritty finish features the highest friction coefficient allowed by USA Pickleball, letting you create heavy topspin, deadly slices, and controlled angles from anywhere on the court. Topspin lets you hit harder with increased accuracy, while backspin keeps the ball low and makes returns difficult for opponents. With the RNGD, spin becomes your secret weapon.

Spin Advantages

• Maximum grit allowed by USA Pickleball
• Heavy topspin for aggressive drives
• Effective backspin for resets and drops
• Sharp angles to open up the court

This core thickness delivers enough stiffness for powerful shots while maintaining the control needed for placement and finesse around the kitchen line.
