The RPM Blackout V2 is the all-black edition of the paddle James Ignatowich actually plays: a full-foam elongated build engineered for power-baseline players who want elite spin without giving up control. An all-black CarbonBite carbon face, RPM's Axial Carbon Layup and a tuned EVA foam ring deliver one of the largest, most connected sweet spots on the market, with the torsional stability to hold up on off-centre hits.
Highlights
- Elite spin and power: CarbonBite carbon face built for heavy topspin and a lively pop off the baseline.
- Huge, stable sweet spot: Gen 3 tri-density core and EVA perimeter ring for forgiveness on mishits.
- 16mm control: the thicker core adds touch and dwell time for resets and dinks.
- Blackout finish: a clean, all-black colourway with no loud graphics, just the paddle.
- Tournament-legal: UPA-A Pro certified.
The pro behind it
Co-designed and signed by James Ignatowich, a top-10 world-ranked professional and one of the most recognisable players in the game. The Blackout V2 takes his Friction Pro V2 platform, refines it with a new carbon layup and an even bigger sweet spot, and wraps it in an all-black finish.
