Description
The Ronbus R1 NOVA 16mm is a pickleball paddle built for players who want precise control and strong spin. It uses a unibody thermoformed construction and a 16mm core, and it suits players who prefer a finesse and touch game. The main difference is its raw Toray T700 carbon fiber face with a textured surface for more grip on the ball.
Key Features
- Unibody thermoformed construction – a more stable frame that helps reduce core damage over time
- Edge grid Gen 3 with a foam-filled perimeter – a larger sweet spot and easier control on fast or off-center shots
- Raw Toray T700 carbon fiber, textured face – more spin potential for players who rely on touch and placement
- Polypropylene honeycomb core – a balanced, consistent feel through the face
