The Ronbus Quanta R4.16 pickleball paddle is designed for players seeking the perfect combination of controlled power, soft feel, and excellent maneuverability. Its hybrid shape and advanced core technology make it a versatile paddle, ideal for both offensive and defensive styles of play.
At the heart of the R4.16 is a 4th-generation foam core, developed as an alternative to traditional honeycomb structures. This innovative design combines:
- Ultra-lightweight EPP foam, which enhances pop while reducing overall weight,
- An EVA elastomer ring, providing better structural stability and a consistent feel on every shot,
- TPE inserts, which effectively absorb vibrations for a softer touch and improved control.
Thanks to this construction, the paddle maintains high performance over time, without the risk of core crushing or performance loss seen in older honeycomb models.
The surface is made of raw textured Toray T700 carbon fiber, a premium material that increases ball grip and enhances spin control. This allows players to place shots with greater accuracy, even during fast-paced rallies or high-pressure points.
With its hybrid shape—a balance between elongated and standard forms—the R4.16 offers a larger sweet spot while remaining quick at the net. This makes it easy to switch between baseline power and precise volleys with confidence.
In terms of handling, the paddle feels very comfortable. Its well-balanced weight (approx. 7.8 oz) and low swing weight (104) allow for quick movement and fast adjustments during gameplay. The twist weight of 5.78 adds stability, minimizing paddle torque and improving performance on off-center hits.
Approved by USAP (PBCoR.43), the Ronbus Quanta R4.16 is fully tournament-ready. Whether you’re competing at a high level or simply looking to level up your game, this paddle offers consistent reliability and a premium playing experience.
