Quanta Pro R3.16 is the elongated Pro: 16.5×7.5, $119.99 or $99.99 with RC3Q2082 (not PRH). Brand lists SW 116 / TW 6.21 / 7.9 oz. USAP. Our spin class ~2,280 RPM. More reach and plow than Pro R2. R4 is still a different hybrid line.
RC3Q2082 The Verdict
The elongated Quanta Pro — not R2, not R4.
R3 is the long one. If the face says R2, you bought the widebody. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Ronbus Quanta Pro R3 16mm is a strong fit for players who want Quanta Pro foam in an elongated 16.5×7.5 — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.
