Summary

The Ronbus R3 Pulsar FX 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 8.1 oz with a 123 swing weight (high), the paddle might provide substantial power but could be less maneuverable for some. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The twist weight of 6.26 may contribute to stability on off-center hits. With high spin (2042 RPM), drive speed (54.6 MPH), and volley speed (34.8 MPH) measurements, this paddle could be suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking an aggressive playing style. The 16mm core thickness may also enhance control, making it potentially suitable for all-court play.
