Republic 2.16 Standard

Hybrid16mmGen-1Cold Pressed

The Rokne Republic 2.16 Standard is a 16 mm hybrid pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, Mitsubishi T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (2th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
