Better than most: After a long try with 6 paddles the Hyperion 16mm was by far the best. Great spin and feel, with very good power, most dink shots w2 spin were easy and [precise. The Gen 4's do not give the feel or power, the CRBN was great for control, the gearbox GX2 just does not compare w the Hyperion. The longer I use it the better it is, A home run

Great at the start lost its power three weeks: I have been playing for almost 4 years everyday. Sometimes I take a day off. Female just over fifty I have a control game i touch over level 4.0. I loved this paddle at the start three weeks and it lost its power. I cannot recommend this paddle. It's expensive and if it does not last more than one month it's just not worth it. I loved it when I first got it so much power and put away power.And I had the ability to drop and dink in the kitchen. I l

Just didn’t work for me: I ended up going back to my 6.0 DBD paddle. The Hyperion felt like it had some dead spots and I found it a bit harder to control. Initially I felt like I wanted more power and I did appreciate the pop and the power. My soft game suffered when using the Hyperion. I know a lot of people that love the new series but it wasn’t for me. Thankful for their return policy.

Game Changer: I have a collection of the Joola Perseus and Hyperion paddles. By far the Hyperion Pro IV 16 is my go to paddle. If anyone is seeking a paddle that can control direction, slowdown pace, dink, speed-up and generated impressive top spin. The paddle has arrived. Joola, thanks

The Hyperion Pro IV is one of the best all-around power paddles I've played with. It gives you the elite pop and power of the most explosive paddles, with good forgiveness and control, especially in hand battles. The aerodynamic head shape helps it swing fast, without reducing your ability to drive or attack. Of the two core sizes (14 and 16 mm), the 16 mm is the clear winner for me – enough touch for soft shots but doesn't hold you back when you want to swing big. If you have the budget, thi...

Best paddle: Power and touch in one paddle. Drops and resets seem effortless with the Hyperion and not lacking in pop. This is my number one paddle. Highly recommend it.
