Summary
The Ronbus Ripple R1 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm EVA foam core and a carbon fiber face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight is 112, considered relatively low, which may make it easier to maneuver. The twist weight is 5.77, suggesting moderate torsional stability. With high drive speed (56.9 mph) and volley speed (35.9 mph) ratings, this paddle might suit players who prioritize power and quick exchanges at the net. The high spin rating (2135 RPM) may also appeal to players who like to impart spin on the ball. While the lower twist weight rating could be a potential limitation for off-center hits, the overall specifications suggest this paddle could be a good option for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and spin.
