Friction Pro Widebody V2 14mm: $249.99 → $212.49 with PRH 15%. SW ~107.5, TW ~6.8, spin ~2,293 RPM. RPM currently sells this chassis as Ella Oh Pink Widebody V2 14mm. Faster and poppier than the 16mm widebody. Start 16mm unless you already like thin cores.
PRH The Verdict
Same widebody — thinner, hotter.
The 14 is not a softer 16. It is the put-away version. After thorough on-court evaluation, the RPM Friction Pro Widebody V2 14mm is a strong fit for players who want Friction Pro widebody pop in 14mm — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.
