The Ronbus R2 Nova is an all-court paddle with a standard shape, 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, and a carbon fiber face. The 7.9 oz weight and 108 swing weight (19th percentile) suggest it is relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The 16mm core thickness, combined with the carbon fiber face, may provide a balance of power and control. The polypropylene honeycomb core is known for its responsiveness.
The R2 Nova's spin rating is 7.6/10 (68th percentile), while its drive speed and volley speed ratings are 5.9/10 (28th percentile) and 6.3/10 (60th percentile) respectively. This suggests potential strengths in spin generation and volleying. The twist weight rating of 5.6/10 (68th percentile) indicates moderate torsional stability. While the lighter weight enhances maneuverability, it might produce less power compared to heavier paddles. This paddle could be suitable for a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced, particularly those prioritizing control and spin.
