Ronbus R2 Nova 16mm Raw Carbon Widebody Pickleball Paddle

The Ronbus R2 Nova is a 16mm raw carbon widebody pickleball paddle built for players who want a bigger sweet spot, high spin, and controlled power in a tournament ready package. Featuring Gen 3 patent pending edge grid technology and a 360 unibody thermoformed design, the R2 Nova delivers a solid, connected feel while staying fast enough for the modern speed up game.

Gen 3 edge grid technology is engineered to release internal pressure during the thermoforming process, helping create a more flexible, responsive paddle that boosts control without giving up power. Foamed edges and perimeter weighting expand the effective sweet spot, so off center contact feels more stable and forgiving.

A raw Toray T700 carbon fiber textured surface provides a long lasting, fine textured finish for maximum spin. Combined with a 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core and widebody shape, the R2 Nova gives you the confidence to roll topspin, add slice, and control depth on dinks, drops, and drives.

With a 16 inch length, 8 inch face width, and 5.5 inch extra long handle, the R2 Nova fits a wide range of players and is especially friendly for two handed backhands. At 7.9 ounces, plus or minus 0.2 ounces, with a swingweight of 106, it strikes a strong balance between quick hand speed and put away power.

Patent pending and USAPA approved, the Ronbus R2 Nova is ready for sanctioned tournament play.

On court performance:

Control and speed of play
The Gen 3 edge grid and unibody thermoformed construction give the R2 Nova a responsive, connected feel that shines in fast exchanges. It offers the control needed at the kitchen while still having the power to rival many Gen 2 thermoformed paddles.

Spin and feel
Raw Toray T700 carbon fiber with a fine textured finish grips the ball, helping you create heavy topspin and slice. The 16 mm core and widebody face work with the surface to keep the ball on the paddle just long enough for precise placement.

Power and forgiveness
Foamed edges and perimeter weighting expand the sweet spot and stabilize the face on off center hits. At 7.9 oz with a swingweight of 106, the R2 Nova gives you confident drives, counters, and put aways without feeling sluggish in the hands.

Extra long handle
The 5.5 inch handle is ideal for players who like or are developing a two handed backhand, while still feeling comfortable for one handed play.
