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 in the database this year.
Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated 16mm
The V-Sol Tour Elongated combines a floating EPP/EVA foam core with Evergrit at $109.99. The comparison video frames it as the more offense-focused choice against Spitfire. All Paddle DNA scores are editorial estimates, not our laboratory measurements.
