Beyond Measure Ronin 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The RONIN Elongated has more of an old-school elongated feel with a shorter handle, softer response, and less free power than most modern thermoformed paddles. It leans heavily into controlled all-court play and feels noticeably better once weighted.
