How It Plays
Maneuverability and control lead this one.
Against our database
Compared with the 134 paddles we have scored.
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.
Performance & Testing
The Ronbus Tenon R2 16mm went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. How it plays reflects consensus feedback from the group, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
6-month defect warranty. No cover in the box. Code is RCPRH: never PRH.
Who It's For
Doubles. Widebody foam. $150 after RCPRH.
Want elongated? R3. Already play hybrid? R4. Need a one-year warranty and a cover? Look at Honolulu.
- you want quick hands: a 109 swing weight against our 113 average
- Spin comes first for you. The Engage Axiom Widebody 16mm is stronger there ($179.99 with PRH).
- Pop or power comes first for you. The Tier 1 Firepower is stronger there ($159.84 with PRH).
