I recently got the R1 Nova and absolutely love the paddle. I had the option to go either the R3 or R1 but went with the R1 because I really only play doubles and wanted the more maneuverability at the kitchen. Also R1 comes in pretty light stock and adding lead tape is an option to add more stability to the sides. Maybe I'll get the R3 down the line.
Great choice! It's a fantastic paddle and shape-wise I think you made the right decision.
Great review! Currently deciding between this and the Hyperion C2. Would you describe the power of the R3 Nova closer to Gen 1/1.5 paddles (like the original Hyperion or Vatic Prism Flash) or closer to Gen 2 Thermoformed paddles (like the Perseus and Hyperion C2)?
Great video. I like the starting light weight of the R1 compared to the R3. Is it possible to add lead tape to the R1 to off set the difference identified in your video to play like the R3 but without eliminating all the better manuverability of the R? And get the R1 to the R3's better stability?
I have the Ronbus R1 Pulsar and I like it, is the R3 Nova would be a upgrade ? If it is a better paddle, in what way ?
I haven't played with thePulsar but my guess would be slightly more variety and a little bit softer on the Nova!
@@RacketsandRunnersPickleballI have the R3 Pulsar, and was also curious of your thoughts in comparison, so when you do get your hands, please….
Hello this is Patrick Kawka with Thrive Pickleball. How do we get in touch to send you some paddles to test and review? Love the content!
Hello, you can send us a message on Instagram @racketsandrunners
How does the r3 and r1 compare to the DBD? Having a hard time deciding between them
The DBD is more powerful and has less control but much more manoeuvrability than both these paddles. Spin is close but the DBD edges it ever so slightly for me.
How does the vatic flash 16 compare?
Is the paddle face the same as the Perseus?
Yes. Almost identical.
Anyone else find it bold to say dinking with gen 2 thermoformed paddles isn't good? Seems a little ridiculous to me, but I'm curious to hear what other people think.
It just requires more compact technique, softer thermos are easier to dink with
They are much more difficult to dink with because they shoot the ball off so quickly.
Oddly enough, my wife and both play Legacy's. Mine was purchased in Feb 23 and hers in Aug. They play totally different. Mine is actually plush and hers plays like a board! What's the deal? lol @@RacketsandRunnersPickleball
@Luka you gotta get your hands on the Gearbox Pro Power Elongated. At minimum, its the number 1 singles paddle on the market. If you can tame the beast, its an aggressive player’s dream for doubles. Most power ever for a legal paddle. Top tier spin and decent enough control.
I can't wait to get them; we're looking at demos in mid-December!
If you want some feedback - maybe you should separate singles from doubles when you talk about a paddle cause they are almost different games - in singles you don't have any drinking and you need the reach and power while in doubles you need maneuverability and soft game.
For me at least would make more sense when talking about how the paddle feels to mention the kind of play you tested in. For example I am using a light and fast paddle in doubles but I can't use it for singles cause of the twist rate and lack of power.
I definitely understand this point of view but with the amount of testing I do, I'm not able to consistently get a group out for doubles. In terms of how the paddle performs for doubles vs. singles, you're right, different characteristics are more important for either game, but there are still times when the soft game/manoeuvrability will be important in singles and vice versa for doubles.
I do agree that I should mention this, though, in fact I think I'll do a video covering what paddles would work better for either gamestyle in the future.
Wouldn’t the comparison be R1 Nova to R1 Nova FX?; then the R3 Nova to the R3 Nova FX?
