R3 PULSAR

The R3 Pulsar is similar to the Crbn 1x in terms of its dimensions; same length and width and currently the only thermoformed paddles that have a 5.5 inch handle. But it is far from being just a cheaper clone of the Crbn 1 . I found the R3P to be soft and plush which is uncommon for an elongated thermoformed paddle. It's softer power allows for the user to adjust it more with lead tape to add power and change the balance point to their liking. This is something I did not do with previous elongated thermoformed paddles because they already had good power. If you are someone that likes to customize paddles with lead tape and don't like the stiff feel and higher power from thermoformed paddles, I recommend checking out the R3 Pulsar. It's a great addition to the thermoformed paddle market at a great price

The R3 Pulsar is a great all around paddle - great spin, easy access to power, and easy to reset and dink with. Combination of power and spin allowed for good overall control. Received several comments how I was hitting harder and with more spin during my last play session using the R3 Pulsar. After a month of solid use paddle feels sturdy and like new. This is a great option for someone looking for an elongated shape / longer handle all court paddle.

The R3 Pulsar is a great thermoformed paddle. I received it about a month ago and at the same time as a Legacy Pro. While both have similar physical characteristics (16.5 x 7.5, 4.125" handle, 5.5" grip, Toray T700 RCF, etc.) the R3 Pulsar is a softer paddle with more control. The R3 Pulsar is also a lot cheaper than some of the other thermoformed paddles like the CRBN 1X and thus is also a great value. After 4 weeks of playing with it I feel it plays the same as when I first got it. I highly recommend it.

This paddle has the best of both worlds, this thing is soft and has amazing power. I think this paddle has the best control out of all the thermoformed paddles I have tried. Resets and the short game feel amazing with this paddle. Drives are deadly with the paddle, it has the power, spin and control to place your shots. I am coming from the R3.16 and would say this paddle is the big brother that has similar control but more power.

Single handedly the best second generation RCF paddle I have ever used. After trying many of the new brands and running into lots of issues with playability + durability, I was delighted to find the R3P. The responsiveness of every shot is unmatched; the touch is extremely precise and the on-demand power is more than plenty for anyone looking to play a faster game. Would not recommend any other paddle more than this.

R3P is where power meets control. Everyone wants a little pop and spin in their game, right? This second gen paddles is reallly the first to have what I’d call controllable power. Power that you can access without having to sacrifice a month long relearning process if switching from a gen 1 paddle. The paddle has a soft feeling. Sturdy on blocks. Can rip the forehand and get massive top spin. Resets are easy. Dinks are light and low. Just a perfect all around paddle that you don’t have to make the hard choice what do I want to sacrifice to get a second gen paddle. With pulsar you don’t have to sacrifice a part of your game. Just go play and get better and win more.

For reference, Im coming from the Joola Hyperion 16 and 14 and the CRBN1X16. This paddle is the perfect amount of power where I can do damage on drives, counters, and slams, but has tons and tons of control. I can put the ball exactly where I want. The feel is phenomenal. The spin is 10/10. I like a heavier paddle, if you do too, put lead tape on the throat, some electrical tape on the top for an edge guard, and I also add 1 overgrip. There’s no break in period, feels great out of the box and the spin is still excellent after about 20 hours of use. Don’t worry about the scuff marks, doesn’t affect the play at all. If you wanted a more powerful CFS14 or a more controllable CRBN1X16, this is your paddle. Its helped my topsin drops, serve returns, and backhand drives the most.

I think the youtube reviewers are probably going to have more to say than I about this paddle's amazing general performance, but I'll give a review for a lot of the newer players out there who I'm going to assume are coming from tennis. TL;DR If you're coming from higher level tennis play (or table tennis play) and want your groundstrokes to work "out of the box" while still having great control at the kitchen, this is the paddle to get. I've now tried around 30 paddles and this is just one of two where I needed no adjustment to my tennis groundstrokes to get the ball to behave the way I wanted. What this means is that the balance of power and spin (both of which are really high) give the right launch angle and overall trajectory that I expect from my tennis racquet with strings. This is most noticeable on 3rd shot dives (somewhat off speed drives that dip at the kitchen line) and singles passing shots. Fantastic work Ronbus!

The Ronbus R3 Pulsar is my favourite paddle because of its reliability and its immense spin. I've been able to produce amazing topspin and sidespin which has enabled me to be more aggressive when serving and returning serve. The Ronbus R3 Pulsar is an outstanding paddle with a huge and forgiving hitting zone which leads to a more consistent performance. I’m also a fan of the aesthetically pleasing design of the paddle and Ronbus have the best-looking logo in the market. More importantly, the customer service from Dong at Ronbus has been phenomenal. He has under promised and over delivered. Dong at Ronbus has been honest, timely and customer-first. Provided this exceptionally high standard continues, I will always be a Ronbus customer.

I've been playing with R3Pulsar for 2 weeks now and I love it ! I think it’s a very well balanced paddle; It combines the strengths of both Gen2 RCF thermoformed paddles for the stability, solid structure and forgiveness (huge sweet spot) yet the soft touch and great feel of the gen1 16mm RCF, this thing is a drop and dinking machine ! Spin is amazing, the power is there with the weight distribution compensating the soft touch in drives and putaways. My R3P stock weight was 8.04 which I liked as it didn't feel hard to swing at all. I added lead tape on both sides for extra power and 2 overgrips as I tend to like relatively thicker grip circumference, took the weight up to 8.6 which I usually feel comfortable with and still feels vey maneuverable for me (coming from both Tennis and padel background).
