JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) vs Ronbus Tenon R2.16
The JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) and the Ronbus Tenon R2.16 are both 16 mm widebody paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction they split 3–3. The Tenon R2.16 swings lighter (110.0 vs 111.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Tenon R2.16 is $109.96 cheaper at $169.99.
Same shape and near-identical core thickness — a genuine either/or. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.
