RPM Q2

By The Kitchen Team | Sep 18, 2026

Our take on the RPM Q2

The RPM Q2 was designed in collaboration with popular paddle reviewer John Kew. It delivers everything we’ve come to expect from full-foam paddles: Big power, a consistent sweet spot and a firm feel on contact.

How We Tested

Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.

We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
