NOVA R2

Widebody16mmGen-2Thermoformed

The Ronbus NOVA R2 is a 16 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Toray Carbon Fiber face. It generates average spin (48th percentile) with low power and below-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, 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.
