Ronbus R2.16

The R2.16 is designed for players who prioritize control, touch, and placement over raw power. Its 16mm core and isometric shape make it an excellent choice for those who want a consistent, forgiving paddle for the soft game and dinking battles.

The isometric shape creates a more generous, uniform hitting surface compared to traditional elongated paddles. This design helps widen the sweet spot, giving you more consistency on off-center hits and making it easier to control your shots.

The R2.16 features a standard 4.9-inch handle length, which is optimized for one-handed backhands. If you rely heavily on a two-handed backhand, you may find the handle a bit short for a comfortable grip.

Yes, the raw Toray T700 carbon fiber face is textured to grip the ball effectively. This surface material is widely considered the industry standard for generating high-level spin, helping you add extra bite to your serves and drives.

Yes, the Ronbus R2.16 is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for use in sanctioned pickleball tournaments.

The 16mm core is on the thicker side, which is a key factor in the paddle's control-oriented nature. It absorbs more energy upon impact, resulting in a softer feel and less 'pop' than thinner paddles, which helps keep your dinks and resets low and accurate.
