Verdicts
Ronbus R4 Pulsar
Ronbus swings for pace with a 14 mm foam-walled build. Power 88 and pop 86 at $160 is the best price-to-punch ratio we have measured this year.
Vatic Pro Oni 16
Vatic's answer to the $250 foam paddles at roughly half the price. It gives up some polish in finish quality, not in measured performance.
