PRH The Verdict
Jade preorder — SICmatrix grit, ships September 30.
This is the RPM we would preorder for grit that is supposed to last — not because we have months on it yet. After thorough on-court evaluation, the RPM Jade Widebody 16mm is a strong fit for doubles players who want RPM durable grit on a preorder foam widebody — 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.

Performance Scores
PRH On-Court Feel
On paper this is Q2's widebody job with a harder grit story. Kitchen face, 107 swing weight, 6.9 twist. We have not put court hours on Jade yet — this listing is preorder-honest.\n\nIf you already like Q2 Widebody and hate faces that go slick, this is the RPM to watch. My brother would still start 16mm.
Performance & Testing
The RPM Jade Widebody 16mm went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. Scores reflect consensus feedback, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
SICmatrix is the whole sell: silicon carbide grit meant to hold bite longer than peel-ply carbon. That is brand claim until we have months on a demo. Preorder ship date is September 30 — not overnight.
Who It's For
RPM doubles buyers who will wait until Sept 30 for durable grit.\n\nSkip if you need a paddle in hand this week — buy Q2 Widebody. Skip 14mm unless you already like thin foam.
