R1.16

The Ronbus R1.16 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it has a medium swing weight (117), which may provide a blend of maneuverability and power. The 90th percentile spin rating (2106 RPM) suggests strong spin potential. While the drive speed (53 mph) and volley speed (33 mph) are lower, placing in the 23rd and 5th percentile respectively, the twist weight is relatively high (6.2), potentially offering good stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize spin and control. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. While the lighter weight enhances maneuverability, the lower drive and volley speeds may not suit players primarily seeking power.
