Verdicts
Ronbus R3 Pulsar
Ronbus keeps doing the same trick: flagship construction at mid-tier money. Nothing in the R3's DNA drops below 72, and spin 88 matches paddles costing $100 more.
Selkirk SLK Halo XL Control
A $100 raw-carbon elongated with a 5.75 in handle — the cheapest credible paddle in the database for a two-handed backhand player who wants real spin.
