Q2 14mm Elongated
A quick-handling paddle with plenty of pop and reach, though you will need a steady hand for soft touches.
Pros
- Gives you extra reach and leverage from the longer shape
- Textured face grabs the ball well for heavy spin
- Delivers quick pop for drives and speed-ups
- Perimeter weighting helps keep the paddle stable during off-center hits
Cons
- Dwell time is on the shorter side, making drops and resets take more practice
- Lighter weight might leave you wanting more plow-through unless you add lead tape
- Elongated shape results in a slightly smaller sweet spot than standard widebody shapes

%The RPM Q2 Elongated is a good match for aggressive players who want extra reach and attacking pop at the kitchen line. The 14mm core gives you quick response times for speed-ups and drives, while the textured face helps generate solid topspin on your groundstrokes. Because it leans toward a faster feel, you will need to pay extra attention to your touch shots and resets since the dwell time is on the shorter side. It is worth considering if you like to dictate the pace of the game and take the ball out of the air early.
