R3.16

The Ronbus R3.16 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 16 mm core thickness may provide a balance of power and control. Carbon fiber faces are often associated with control and feel. Its elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into a midweight range. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard. With a swing weight of 119, this paddle falls into the high swing weight category, which may provide more power but require more effort to swing. The twist weight is 5.84, and its twist weight rating is 3.8 out of 10, placing it in the 23rd percentile for twist weight. This suggests the paddle may be slightly more susceptible to twisting on off-center hits compared to paddles with higher twist weight ratings. The R3.16 may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The combination of core and face materials could offer a balance of power and touch. The higher swing weight may benefit players who prefer a more powerful drive. However, the lower twist weight rating might be a consideration for players prioritizing stability and control.
