Ronbus Refoam R1 14mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Refoam R1 is built around an unusual foam (Microcellular Polypropylene rather than standard EPP), and the result is a plush, dense feel that doesn't echo or vibrate. There's a 3D carbon lattice inside that adds twist weight without bulking up swing weight, so off-center hits stay more playable than typical elongated paddles.
