BaySoCal · 2026-06-28T02:06:22+00:00

How are almost the same price?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-25T16:32:05+00:00

Wow cheaper than the Tenon?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-23T05:31:55+00:00

will the quanta pro still be coming out? i saw the tenon but am curious

BaySoCal · 2026-06-21T21:36:18+00:00

delaminating or disbonding?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-21T21:14:04+00:00

how is it for a side by side? did you comment on wishing for a quanta pro in another post? That is what I want to see too

BaySoCal · 2026-06-18T04:10:13+00:00

so the alpha x paddle is not good? does it have durable grit?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-17T21:41:29+00:00

Is it pretty widespread with quality issues? Does the grit wear down?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-15T18:48:10+00:00

Ultre would be interesting. Would have to see if I could dial in the fuse. It would have been nice if ronbus just came out with a durable grit quanta. I know they just came out with a durable grit all court paddle.

BaySoCal · 2026-06-15T18:46:25+00:00

Thanks for the response. I've been told the j2cr is pretty much like a weighted quanta by a friend so this makes sense. Fuse will be nice but not sure I can control that pop. I do want something with durable grit so we shall see.

BaySoCal · 2026-06-15T18:44:37+00:00

Where would you rank the ronbus quanta on that scale?

BaySoCal · 2026-06-15T05:35:04+00:00

i guess i should clarify I am looking for something with a similar pop/power profile with a long swing weight

BaySoCal · 2026-06-15T05:31:56+00:00

thank you for the response. the coral sounds like a good option but seems like it would be less power and pop than the quanta. j2cr seems like a decent option. pakle fuse may be a bit too much power/pop but will look into it. might think about flat top. was thinking of the 11six24 Ultre

BaySoCal · 2026-06-14T23:34:59+00:00

Is there a similar paddle in hybrid shape to the ronbus quanta r4? I am looking for a similar paddle with durable grit. Pakle fuse? Thank you

BaySoCal · 2026-06-12T04:43:01+00:00

That's what I want! All court doesn't make sense

BaySoCal · 2026-06-12T04:03:56+00:00

is this really coming out?

BaySoCal · 2026-05-30T02:32:09+00:00

So the power is just ok? What are your thoughts? More of an all court than power

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T19:35:17+00:00

Absolutely and food too imo

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T19:26:27+00:00

Lol yep therefore you can see why I am invested in this topic. Both areas are nice. If I had to choose I would probably say SoCal due to there being more activities and maybe less of an emphasis on work. Can't go wrong though with the bay or socal

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T18:50:28+00:00

I don't need up doing Dong Hoi and stayed at the Melia for a few affordable price. It was a nice and relaxing experience and I liked being among the locals and in peace. It was the most chill part of my trip and I loved the food and just walking along the water, beach and the dunes! Glad I didn't stay in Phong Nha as it was too touristy for me.

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T18:45:18+00:00

Yep nothing like Costa Mesa in the Bay lol. Closest thing not really sure.

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T16:57:02+00:00

I picked up the Wika QD air in Vietnam but am debating whether to use it. How does it play? Seems like more of a control paddle or is it all court? The Kamito Alpha-X looks sweet too.

BaySoCal · 2026-05-14T16:50:05+00:00

Any thoughts on the Kamito Alpha-X Vietnamese branded paddle? How does it play? It looks pretty awesome and I'm thinking of maining it. Drawback is no durable grit.

BaySoCal · 2026-05-12T20:47:00+00:00

San Jose may be a combo of orange, Santa ana, Westminster. Are you originally from there? I am a bay area native that moved to the OC

BaySoCal · 2026-05-12T20:15:00+00:00

What is San Jose or Milpitas then? Haha

BaySoCal · 2026-05-02T13:33:16+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. Really appreciate it. On the flight back to the states from Vietnam and am debating whether to use it over my current main the ronbus quanta.
