Size Guide

Choose the right Grip

The grip size refers to the circumference of the handle. The circumference is measured in two units and both are listed on the racket. The first is the European “L” measuring system. The latter is the imperial system, measured in inches.

There are six different grip sizes available for adult tennis rackets. Keep in mind not all rackets are made available in every grip size.

At Rackets & Runners we like to fit our rackets by having the player grip the handle of the racket with an eastern grip (think of holding a hammer or frying pan). From there we are looking to achieve about a finger’s width between the tips of players fingers and the palm of the hand.

If you cannot visit our store or have access to a racket to measure yourself, but have access to a ruler, no need to worry. Open your dominant hand with your fingers pressed together, and measure from the tip of your ring finger to the middle horizontal crease of your palm in inches. This measurement will correspond to your grip size.

If you are between grip sizes, we always recommend going slightly smaller as it is much easier to build up a grip size than it is to decrease one.

Details

The RPM Friction Pro V2 utilizes new technology to improve upon 2025’s paddle of the year, the RPM Friction Pro. The V2 includes RPM’s new Axial Carbon Layup, coupled with an enhanced EVA foam ring to generate elite spin & power and enhance the biggest sweet spot on the market. Co-designed and built by James Ignatowich, a top 10 world-ranked professional pickleball player, the RPM Friction Pro line was engineered with professional, advanced play in mind. RPM LABS has combined its CarbonBite Surface, Axial Carbon Layup, and Tri-Density Core technologies to engineer revolutionary performance for every player.

The Friction Pro’s elongated shape offers extended reach for high balls, volley attacks, and singles play. This shape emulates tennis racquet play, with heightened power for next-level drives. With a thicker 16MM core, this high-performance paddle delivers increased stability and plush shock absorption, with elite power that feels controllable. The Friction Pro 16MM Elongated paddle is designed for players prioritizing power, reach, and aggressive play, without losing out on stability and control.

The 16MM Elongated model is James Ignatowich’s competition paddle of choice. “This paddle is for anyone. It’s forgiving, and controllable, but the top end power and spin are elite.” - James Ignatowich
