Joola Bright. — Pros: Quick transition from Selkirk Invikta Vanguard to this paddle — Cons: Like the smooth edge of the Selkirk paddle better, to soon to tell but I question if the surface of the Joola is as durable as the Selkirk seems to collect dirt quicker.

Husband a hero after gifting control (pickleball): My wife is an athlete, her first pickleball paddle was 4 years ago and was out of date. She had power, she needed control. The Scorpeus improved her game immediately! I was a birthday hero. We now have fewer doubles arguments.

The Scorpeus Pro IV is a rare widebody paddle that's loaded up with power. It combines all the attributes of a premium standard-shaped paddle (generous sweet spot, great forgiveness, lots of hand speed) with plenty of aggressive pop. It has top-tier spin, too. If you're an aggressive player who wants a power paddle that won't punish you on resets or mishits, this is my recommendation. It's one of the most complete paddles JOOLA has released, and is 100% worth the $279.95. I prefer the 16 mm m...

Quick and adaptable: This is my second Anna Bright Scorpeus paddle and when the time comes, I will buy a third. I like the light weight, the responsiveness, and the adaptability of this paddle. The paddle is quick on volleys and I appreciate the ability to quickly change my angle of attack. It provides good control and good power.

Insanely unreliable.: Been playing with it for three months. The most unreliable paddle I have ever used. The amount of paddle twist is insane, the sweet spot is horrible, and when it does work it is very poppy. The effect is alternating between the ball dying on the middle of the paddle and going nowhere(even with lead tape it is insufferable), or the ball popping way too far up and getting you killed. Please do not give Joola your money for this exceptionally bad product: 1) No paddle at this

Lightweight, yet delivers.: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new pickleball player, I find that this paddle has improved my game by its lightweight design (and smaller grip) allowing me to play many rounds without much fatigue. And that is important as I need alot of practice making the transition from being a tennis player. I like to defend alot in my game and find that this paddle delivers accuracy in my blocks. This paddle delivers solid shots with great control.

So lightweight and sleek: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my pickleball loving husband. He wanted a better paddle since he’s been getting more serious about the matches. The grip size is a perfect fit. Overall it’s light weight & he feels like his game and scores have improved already. Definitely an awesome paddle if you’re no longer a beginner and want to up your game.

High-quality paddle that upgrades your game!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been playing pickleball for about a year now. I originally purchased amateur, low-quality equipment while learning the game and ensuring it was a sport I enjoyed. After nearly a year and playing pickleball multiple times every week, I wanted to upgrade to better equipment to help improve my game. This Scorpeus 14mm paddle by JOOLA, a leader in the pickleball industry, did just that. The carbo

Great paddle!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing paddle that has a great feel to handle and a nice lighter weight. The lighter weight gives you a better pop.

Overall it is worth purchasing! I would recommend it.

Game Changer: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Game Changer (literally). I started pickleball not too long ago and wws playing with some basic items i got at the big box stores on the cheap. Nothing wrong with that, injust had no idea what i was missing out on. This is SO satisfying to use and has not only improved my game but made it more enjoyable. Great value and would recommend to anyone especially someone like me looking to level up from beginner status.

Wonderful paddle – great, innovative features!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already have a nice JOOLA pickleball paddle but was anxious to try this one as it boasted new innovation. The textured surface is different than other paddles I own, but I really like it – it delivers strong, accurate shots, while maximizing my control of spin shots. The paddle is solid and durable, and the tacky grip makes it easy to hold and control. High ratings for control, power, and spin!

LOVE IT!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love the Joola Anna Bright Scorpeus Paddle! As a grown up with no previous tennis experience, I started to play tennis casually with friends and found it to be very hard for my wrist. Then a friend introduced Pickleball to me, I was amazed by how much fun it is with my beginner's paddle. I can't imagine how much difference it makes using a Joola paddle!

Great paddle: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been only playing pickleball for one year but decided I needed to upgrade to a bettle paddle. I came across the Joola Scorpeus paddle and I love it. Love the grip and the light weight of the paddle. My last paddle fatigued my shoulder after 1/2 hour of play, this one did not. I am hoping this improves my game so I can play with the better players.

This paddle makes me play better!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pickleball paddle is a little bit more on the expensive site but I believe you get what you pay for. I am a beginner that has not played for a long time yet. That said, I love this sport and try to play at least once a week and better twice. I have used cheaper paddles that are heavy and the ball just does not bound off right to stay on target. Also the wear and tear shows quickly and I needed to replace
