Rather disappointed. 'Pop' and control seem inconsistent across the surface. Went back to my previous paddle after 3 days playing with this one. Additionally, surface looks remarkably 'worn' for just a few hours play. Could not recommend...
First got turned on to Ronbus from my research and feedback on overall quality and value over a year ago. After trying out the Beta Ripple paddle from a friend, I decided to get one for mainly its performance at a fraction of the cost of those sponsored paddles ($280+ ea.). It's been 10 months and it is still in great shape. I since added a few more after the major price drop in late 2025. Every time someone tried my Beta Ripple, they got one a week later. Even friends from out of town (I used to play tennis with) have made the switch (from their pricy paddles) after we talked. The price is excellent for the quality of the paddle; it is a great weapon for social/competitive plays. There is a version for USPPA tournament play, Ripple V2.
Got the Quanta R2.16 wide body three weeks ago and that’s a great paddle. Just got the Ripple R1.14 and played a few games with it already with no added weight. And another great paddle. Great response, great power without being overbearing. I might add some weight at the 9 and 3 just to see the difference. Not that it’s needed but just to see if there’s a big difference. What a great paddle and the for the price, it’s a steal. Great job Ronbus, I’m a fan!
Best paddle ever made!! I bought 5 of them just in case they get damaged or fail, never have to shop for another paddle.
Ran across the Beta Ripple at intro price, offering both latest foam core and gritty carbon fiber hitting surface, and decided to give it a try...The pops and spins are quite noticeable if hit correctly. Coming from many years of tennis background, the Beta Ripple makes it easier to generate spins and speed. However, friends who are new at pickleball tried my paddle and many decided to switch to Ripple paddles as well, instead of buying random paddles on Amazon and overseas as their skills get better. After a game or two, it is clear that Ronbus designs and produces very quality paddles, without fancy ads and sponsorships to keep the costs very reasonable - good value. The R1 version feels quicker for volleys. Added some lead tapes at 10 and 2 o'clock for stability. Great paddle for recreational play against those who spend over $300 for a paddle. ;-)
It has truely changed my game! I weighted towards the bottom sides with 3.2's. Bam! Like gold in my hands.
I really like it very much; it's an excellent paddle.
Love it. Put two grams at 3 &9 and it’s a monster. Was playing with Quanta r 3 before . Prefer the Beta Ripple R 1. Thinking of getting the R2 before they are gone.
Great paddle at a really great price
The Ronbus Ripple Beta is a perfect blend of control and power. It’s light weight and doesn’t strain your joints. It’s has great pop at the net. Highly recommend especially at the price.
Very very powerful paddle with a unique feel!
Good paddle but the grit worn out fast
very powerful and poppy with a tad bit of plush. amazing paddle for price!
Good looking paddle but I lost every match I played with it. I let a few other players try it and they thought ok but enough to switch to it.
Had an Engage, it cracked. Purchased a CRBN, after a year it felt like it had no life to n it. Bought a Ripple from Ronbus, so far, the most lively paddle I’ve ever had!
I'm not a good enough pickleball player to notice the differences between rackets, but yours works fine.
Great paddle for the price. Add some lead tape and let it rip
Love it
The paddle has nice power with good control.
This paddle is pretty
Good- only concern is the sound of the pop compared to other same paddles (ordered by a bunch of our club players) seems very hollow. Lightweight and Good Performance overall
WOW! So much power and pop! Great for Rec Play!
New main. Amazing paddle on every level
Actually prefer the R2. Better sweet spot.
Also, check your sales in Elk Grove, Ca. Everybody is buy these!
It just feels extremely light!
An excellent paddle that perfectly balances a solid feel with great explosive pop. The longer grip is the icing on the cake for players who love extra leverage and reach. Highly recommended!
So far so good, more power than my previous paddle
Amazing paddle. Took around 10 hours of playtime to unlock paddle's full potential, but a BEAST with ample control. Serves and drives are rockets and resets are easy and consistent. Buy one!
Good pop. I prefer this paddle over my selkirk tesla. Probably for me a better feel to have a rimmed paddle. I'd compare it best to the boomstick
Love the balance of the paddle and the power
Very happy with the paddle.
I have better hit and control. Great paddle. Sent the link to lots of people I play with.
