Attributes
Summary
The Ronbus R3 Pulsar is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.3 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it has a high swing weight (124), placing it in the heavier range. This may provide more power but could also reduce maneuverability for some. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay.
The manufacturer's data suggests this paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. Its high spin rating (7.4/10) and moderate drive speed rating (6.3/10) indicate potential for spin generation and powerful drives. However, the lower volley speed rating (4.4/10) and pop percentile (14th) suggest volleys may not be its strongest suit. The moderate twist weight rating (5.0/10) indicates average torsional stability. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot.
