CRBN TruFoam Barrage 1 14mm vs Ronbus Tenon R1.16
Two elongated paddles, side by side. Specs are the published figures; prices are what US stores charged at our latest check, shipping included.
What actually separates them
- Ronbus Tenon R1.16 has the thicker core (16 mm against 14 mm). Thicker cores usually feel softer and more controlled; thinner ones give more pop.
- CRBN TruFoam Barrage 1 14mm has the longer handle (5.75 in against 5.5 in), which matters if you hit two-handed backhands.
