Ronbus Tenon R1.16 Pickleball Paddle

Spin and control in an Elongated shape. Extra reach, soft feel, and a biting paddle face.

The Tenon series is Ronbus's 4th generation, and the name says it all: an EPP/EVA foam core connected via a mortise-and-tenon joint — borrowed from woodworking — enclosed in an elastic layer and attached to a high-strength carbon frame. The result is a stable and powerful paddle on big swings, yet soft and quiet on blocks and dinks. No honeycomb, no plastic, no core crushing. On top is Ronbus's NanoBond raw carbon surface, nano-bonded for long-lasting grit and spin.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

Mortise-and-Tenon EPP/EVA Core — Durable, No Core Crushing

The EPP/EVA foam core with a mortise-and-tenon connection provides power and durability right at the center of the paddle, while the elastic layer attached to the carbon frame creates targeted flexibility — steady power on swings, soft dampening on light touches. Designed to prevent the delamination and core crushing common in thermoformed paddles.

NanoBond Raw Carbon Surface — Long-Lasting Spin

The nano-bonding network within the carbon fiber matrix offers high abrasion resistance, maintaining the spin-generating structure much longer than standard peel-ply raw carbon.

🎯 WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

All-court players who want the reach of an Elongated shape without losing ball feel. If you build points with spin, live on the third-shot drop, and still want to put away high balls — this is the shape for you. Level 3.5 and above.
