Pickleball Studio rated them 8/10, Pickleheads called the Pro the best budget paddle of 2025 and Speak Pickleball gave the line its value award. With the Ronbus Quanta it reset the price of a full-foam paddle to about $100.",
  "construction": "Both use EPP foam cores under raw carbon: the Pro is a floating core with an EVA foam ring, the Power a full foam slab with small indents that add flex. Re-engineered and renamed from the earlier V-Core.",
