Engage Axiom Elongated 16mm vs Ronbus Quanta Pro R3

The Engage Axiom Elongated 16mm and the Ronbus Quanta Pro R3 are both 16 mm elongated paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Quanta Pro R3 takes 4 and the Axiom Elongated 16mm takes 2. The Axiom Elongated 16mm swings lighter (116.0 vs 118.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Quanta Pro R3 plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win.
