Love this paddle!: This is my second Hyperion paddle. I’m a 70 year old intermediate rec player. I got it initially based on the recommendation of a high level player. It really helpsto absorb impact and I love the control it gives me. I would really like to be able to replace the wrap ( when the time comes) with this exact one as the grip is excellent.

Love it!: It's a huge upgrade from what I used prior. It gives a lot more control, and spin compared to my $30 paddle. Also the grip slightly bigger which gives the paddle a well made feel to it.

New Racket: Okay, construction is solid. Racket weight is okay, not a heavy feel at all... Still learning response of racket to striking ball; not able to spin a return yet. Jury is out, need more court time... lol...

Great paddle: This is the second one of these paddles I have bought. The first one was for myself and I love it. I bought the second for my wife. She loves it as well. The ball control, power, and shock absorption are tremendous. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a pro level paddle.

Joola Hyperion HYBRID CAS 16MM: I like it. It is softer than my previous paddle I think I am doing dinks and third shots better. The surface is giving me spin without trying. Spin is not part of my game yet.

Great quality paddle: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paddle is super high quality. The paddle is solid but lightweight for play. I appreciate that it is lightweight as I have some wrist issues that would make a heavy paddle more difficult. I literally can hear the difference in this paddle when I hit the ball vs. other paddles I've used. I'm not an expert but my shots seem to be more consistent when using this paddle. The paddle handle feels good to hold as I'm able to g

Excellent: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great pickleball paddle. It is made really well. I expect it to last a really long time. It gives me excellent control, power, and spin. The surface is sandblasted which is very helpful with spin. The elongated shape and longer handle is really nice and helps me to reach further and play better. This is a really nice pickleball paddle and I am very happy with it.

Precise and lightweight: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am new to Pickleball and I ordered a set that came with paddles and then I got this paddle. Difference noted. It feels like it’s a better extension of my hand and it’s lighter. My aim is more precise. It’s a fun color allows me to play the game without putting too much stress on my wrist. as a beginning Pickleball in comparison to the one that came with my kit this is more effective and it works for me.

Good paddle: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like the color and design of this paddle. It's not too bad weight wise and seems to be a solid one but I do feel the grit on this wears out alot sooner than I would like it to honestly so maybe that's something that can be improved upon. I've had good experience playing with it though.

Best paddle on the market!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I recently started playing pickleball about 6 months ago and have gone through many paddles. These have been the best by far. The handle is very soft and grippy and I felt control on the ball that I have not experienced in the past. The paddles are light and I feel extremely fast with these. The color and design are very bright. These are highly recommended!

Easy to control racket: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just started playing pickle ball not that long ago. I love how this racket is light weight and I can easily maneuver it in my hand quickly. It does an excellent job with giving me enough control with the ball that the ball lands just over the net and out of my opponent’s reach. I can easily grip this racket even with sweaty palms. I love the color blue on the racket too.

Spin & Power & Control Oh My!: Love it from the get-go. I'm just getting into pickleball a bit seriously so this was an amazing step up from my prior setup. Great control, didn't notice a huge learning curve to get used to any overshots. Spin is a BIG change from my prior paddle, which to be fair was basically a piece of cardboard. Dinks over the net are more consistent and power off serves has increased. We'll see longevity wise how it fairs, but so far it's good quality. Handle

Much Better Than My 1st Paddle: This paddle is much better than the 1st Paddle that I bought. 1. All shots feel solid with this Joola. Any shots outside my 1st Paddle’s sweet spot seemed to die. 2. The grip on this Joola feels really good to hold. My 1st Paddle’s grip just did not feel right. My 1st purchased Paddle had good reviews and cost $90 but just did not perform well. The Joola is much more expensive but is night and day better than the 1st Paddle that I bought.
