Tenon R4.16 is the hybrid: 16.25×7.75, SW 111, TW 6.61, 7.9 oz, USAP PBCoR .43. $169.99 → $149.99 with RC3Q2082 (not PRH). R2 stays the default widebody.
RC3Q2082 The Verdict
Tenon hybrid — RC3Q2082 $20.
I keep calling this the middle Tenon, which is boring and also accurate. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Ronbus Tenon R4 16mm is a strong fit for all-court players who want Tenon foam in a hybrid — see how it plays below, across 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.
