After about 30 hours with a weighted Quanta R1, a sub-4.0 player coming from the J2FC+ finds it amazingly consistent with great spin and a large sweet spot; four friends bought one after trying it.
“Amazingly consistent, great spin, large sweet spot.”
With 12g added near 3 and 9, a player says the Quanta R1 has plenty of pop and pretty good power.
“For my R1, I’ve added 6 grams of weight on each side near 3 & 9 but slightly lower. It’s a total of 12 grams of weight added.”
A Quanta R1 player initially liked its help on resets and drops, but after a few weeks it is getting pretty soft.
“R1, same timeline, same experience. I initially liked that it helped on resets and drops but it’s getting pretty soft.”
A Quanta R1 owner needed 7 inches of 1g/in tape per side to improve it, finding it very unforgiving with a small sweet spot without a lot of weight.
“Personally, the paddle feels very unforgiving with a small sweet spot without a lot of weight but you have to experiment.”
Coming from a Vapor All Court, a player is loving everything about the Quanta R1 so far while still experimenting with weight.
“I am loving everything so far but I haven't experimented with the weight set up.”
