Summary
The Ronbus R1 Pulsar is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its 116 swing weight is considered medium, indicating moderate maneuverability. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for its blend of power and control. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players seeking a balance between power and control. The 6.18 twist weight suggests moderate stability on off-center hits. While the manufacturer claims a spin of 1903 RPM and drive/volley speeds of 53.6/34.3 MPH, independent testing may vary. The paddle's higher swing weight could be a potential drawback for players prioritizing maneuverability.
