The Ronbus R3.16 pickleball paddle has an elongated shape and is aimed at control, standing out in the soft game and delivering plenty of power when needed. The face is raw Toray T700 carbon with a durable textured finish, for maximum spin, and the core is 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb, for ideal control. The extra-long 5.5 in handle is recommended for two-handed backhands, and the weight distribution is balanced. It has USAPA approval for tournaments.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%71
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
