How they play
The RPM Q2 Elongated is a quicker-attack elongated with stronger pop. In our files it sits near 2,358 RPM, and the elongated shape adds reach on serves and baseline drives. It is more attack-forward than Engage, but the elongated shape is slower in kitchen hand battles than a widebody or hybrid.
The Engage X2 Elongated is controlled power with reach. Its 9.25 overall score and elongated forgiveness make it better for players who want authority without giving up all kitchen control. It is less explosive than RPM Q2 Elongated, but more consistent on transition rallies.
My brother liked the RPM Q2 Elongated better for serving and driving; I preferred the Engage X2 Elongated when we needed controlled transition rallies and longer rallies at the kitchen line.
