We are pleased to announce that both the Ripple.R1.14 and Ripple.R2.14 have been added to the USA Pickleball approved paddle list. The new Ripple is made from a patent-pending Carbon Fiber-Infused-Rebounding-Elastomer (FIRE) core material, making it Ronbus’ 4th generation paddle.
Due to the complexity of the paddle structure and highly labor-intensive manufacturing process, our inventory levels are lower than desired for an originally planned public release at the end of September. Instead of quickly running out of stock upon release, we have decided to extend the Beta testing period for our Ronbus Connect members. The Ripple.R1.14 will be released on September 20 and the Ripple.R2.14 will be released on September 27 to Connect members only. These Beta testing paddles will be limited to one per Connect member per model. Ronbus customers who have not yet joined the Ronbus Connect program may do so at https://www.ronbus.com/Join-Ronbus-Connect_ep_44-1.html. The public release date of Ripple will be announced after the conclusion of beta testing period. We pride ourselves in having paddles ready to ship as soon as you order, so pre-orders will not be taken. We at Ronbus greatly appreciate your patience and support.
