Verdicts
Ronbus Nova R1
Ronbus keeps doing the same thing: premium specs, mid-tier price. The Nova R1 lands between a control and power build and does not embarrass itself in either direction.
Selkirk SLK Halo Control
The softest, most muted feel we tested under $150. If your first goal is keeping third-shot drops in the kitchen instead of hitting winners, this is the paddle that teaches touch fastest.
