How It Plays
Maneuverability and control lead this one.
RC3Q2082 On-Court Feel
16 by 8, swing weight 109. Hands stay in the rally. Twist weight 6.59 is only okay. It is not a 7.5 widebody brick, so don't buy it thinking nothing ever leaks.
NanoBond is Ronbus's grit story. Warranty is six months and there is no cover in the box. Honolulu is nicer there.
R3 if you want 16.5 inches and you will swing 117. R4 if you already play hybrid.
