The RPM Jade is the newest addition to RPM's full-foam lineup, built around a single obsession: spin that lasts. Engineered as a power paddle with exceptional spin, it delivers explosive pop balanced by a level of predictability and touch that rewards precise, high-level play, from baseline drives to fast-paced kitchen exchanges.
At its heart is the MPP floating core, a full-foam construction engineered to resist the breakdown and dead spots that wear other paddles down over time. The floating core is wrapped in soft EVA foam and tuned for elite power, an oversized sweet spot, and long-term durability.
But the true star of the Jade is its grit. The SICmatrix silicon carbide surface is rated at Tier 1 durable roughness: it generates spin most paddles can't match and, critically, keeps generating it shot after shot, season after season. RPM sent it out for independent third-party testing, where ball-cannon results confirmed true Tier 1 durable grit.

Choose your build
The Jade comes in four builds: elongated (16.5", more reach and leverage) or widebody (16" x 8", faster hands and a bigger, more forgiving sweet spot), each in a 16mm core (softer, more control and dwell) or a 14mm core (firmer, quicker, more pop). If you are not sure, go 16mm.
Highlights
- SICmatrix silicon carbide surface at Tier 1 durable roughness. Elite spin that holds its texture instead of smoothing out and fading.
- MPP full-foam floating core wrapped in soft EVA foam. No dead spots and a connected, responsive feel across the whole face.
- Axial carbon layup for elite dwell time and superior ball pocketing, with aligned carbon fibres for clean energy transfer and stability.
- Four builds across elongated and widebody shapes in 14mm and 16mm cores.
- USAP approved at PBCoR .43.

About the SICmatrix surface
Silicon carbide is one of the hardest materials used on a paddle face, and that is the point. Most raw carbon surfaces spin well when new, then polish smooth within a month or two as the softer resin wears away. SICmatrix is built for Tier 1 durable roughness, so it holds its texture and keeps your topspin, slices and roll shots sharp far longer.
Paired with the full-foam MPP floating core, the result is a paddle that plays the same on hit one and hit ten thousand. No core crush, no dead spots, no quiet drop-off in bite. Elite spin that doesn't wear down, explosive power you can control, and predictable response from drives to dinks.
