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.
Vatic Pro V7 Pro 16
The standard-shape sibling to the Prism Flash. Same face, wider body — a better first thermoformed paddle for players who miss the middle.
