Explore the R1 Ripple 14mm – Performance, Features, and Specs

$250
(5 stars)

The Ronbus Ripple is a standout paddle that combines innovation with versatility, offering excellent performance across various play styles. This paddle comes in two versions: the R1 with an elongated, aerodynamic shape, and the R2, a wider, more standard body. Both paddles feature a unique foam-enhanced core and a carbon fiber grid structure that increases power and stability while maintaining a balanced feel. Players will notice a pronounced sweet spot and consistent responsiveness across the face, making the Ripple ideal for those looking for both power and control. The paddle offers impressive spin potential, particularly the R2 model, which balances maneuverability with pop. With an entry-level weight of around 7.6 ounces, the Ripple is lightweight but can be modified for more heft and stability with added perimeter weighting. However, it remains easy to wield even after modifications. At $250, the Ripple is priced as a premium product, reflecting its extensive research and development. Whether you're an advanced player seeking power or someone looking for better control at the kitchen, the Ronbus Ripple is designed to deliver a highly enjoyable playing experience.
