Ronbus Ripple R2 V2 14mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Ripple R2 V2 is the most forgiving paddle in the Ripple V2 line. It's a Standard shape with a lower swing weight than the R1 and the highest twist weight in the series, so it stays stable on off-center contact and is more forgiving than the elongated.
