Beta Ripple R1.14

A 5.0+ player who used the Ripple R1 beta 6–10 hours a week liked it immediately for drives and counters, needed a few weeks for drops and dinks, and wouldn't replace it, though the edge guard failed after two months.

“I liked it right away for drives, volleys, counters. I struggled with consistency in drops and dinks for a few weeks. I’m very happy with how it plays now that I’m used to it.”

A daily player calls the Ripple R1 beta their favourite paddle ever, but after a month it became so hot that the over-the-top pop caused constant errors and they expect to abandon it.

“I've had my R1 about a month and play everyday. The last few days have been not fun - I've been making a lot more errors than normal.”
