Ruby: notes from the specs
👍 Pros
- Comes in more than one core thickness (14mm, 16mm), so you can pick the feel you prefer.
- A 16mm+ core option. Thicker cores are generally described as softer and more control-friendly.
- A thinner core option. Thinner cores are generally associated with a crisper, poppier response.
- Elongated shape gives extra reach and leverage on serves and drives.
👎 Cons
- Elongated faces are narrower, so off-center hits on the sides are less forgiving.
- The maker doesn't publish a weight on its product page.
- Priced in AUD on the maker's site. Shipping and exchange costs for US buyers vary.
- Shown as unavailable on the maker's site at our last check.
