Ronbus Quanta R3 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The R3 is the strongest of the elongated options with a square head design that extends reach while playing more balanced than the R1 at 24.4 cm balance point. Stock it feels thin with harsh edge drop-off due to 5.6 twist weight, but add weight at three and nine o'clock and it transforms.
