The Ronbus Quanta R5.16 pickleball paddle is designed for demanding players who seek the perfect balance of power, stability, and comfort. Featuring a widebody shape with a curved roof, it offers an expanded hitting surface ideal for maximizing the sweet spot and ensuring greater accuracy with every shot. Whether you play offensively or defensively, this paddle allows you to dominate the game with confidence and fluidity.
Advanced Core Technology for Lasting Performance
At the heart of the Quanta R5.16 lies a 4th generation foam core technology, engineered to enhance feel and power. This innovative core replaces traditional honeycomb structures with a multilayer system combining:
- Ultra-lightweight EPP foam to optimize pop—delivering greater speed and power to the ball while keeping the paddle’s weight controlled;
- An EVA elastomer ring that stabilizes the structure and ensures uniform response, eliminating unpleasant vibrations upon impact;
- TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) inserts that effectively absorb shocks and provide a softer, more precise touch for the player.
This unique combination guarantees increased power, impressive stability, and superior vibration absorption, translating to optimal comfort and enhanced control during play.
No More Honeycomb, Less Wear and Tear
The honeycomb-free technology in the Quanta R5.16 eliminates the risk of core compression—a common issue with traditional honeycomb cores. As a result, the paddle maintains its rigidity and performance longer, offering improved durability and consistent play throughout matches and practice sessions.
High-Performance Toray T700 Carbon Fiber Surface
The Quanta R5.16 features a raw, textured Toray T700 carbon fiber surface—a premium material known for its strength and lightweight properties. This textured finish improves ball grip on the paddle, making it easier to generate powerful and precise spins. It also enhances control during fast-paced and pressure-filled rallies, giving players a decisive advantage during crucial points.
Exceptional Maneuverability and Stability
Weighing approximately 7.8 oz (± 0.2 oz), the Quanta R5.16 remains lightweight and easy to handle despite its wide shape. Its swing weight of 102 and twist weight of 6.23 strike a perfect balance between power and stability. This low rotational weight allows for quick movements, while torsional resistance ensures excellent control—even on off-center hits.
