Quanta Pro R3.16 is the elongated Pro: 16.5×7.5, $119.99 or $99.99 with RC3Q2082 (not PRH). Brand lists SW 116 / TW 6.21 / 7.9 oz. USAP. Our spin class ~2,280 RPM. More reach and plow than Pro R2. R4 is still a different hybrid line.
The Verdict
The elongated Quanta Pro, not the R2 or R4.
R3 is the long one. If the face says R2, you bought the widebody.

Against our database
Compared with the 126 paddles we have scored.
On-Court Feel
Longer than R2. Heavier swing than the widebody Pro. Foam still takes the sting out.
Off-center elongated misses leak more than R2 (TW 6.2 vs ~7.1). My brother would take R2 for doubles and R3 if he wanted to serve.
