Incredible Pickleball Paddle: I have played pickleball for 8 years and have had many paddles. This is the best paddle I have owned. I am buying another today.

Joola
The JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV 16mm is overwhelmingly praised by reviewers as a premium, well-balanced paddle that delivers excellent power and control for intermediate to advanced players. The vast majority highlight its explosive pop, generous sweet spot, and refined feel, though durability concerns and premium pricing are notable drawbacks for some buyers.

Less than a year it got broken!!!: Less than a year it broken!! I purchased Perseus IV 16mm and I liked it, but it got broke after 8 months and I try to replace it with warranty, but it got rejected. I have the receipt, damage and defect video of the broken paddle. Before buying it check the reviews about the paddle on the official JOOLA facebook account.

BEST PICKLEBALL PADDLE: I bought this product 2 months ago, after playing pickleball for 5 months before. It was a great step up from my cheaper one. Had great spin and control. Great for intermediate to advanced players.

Terrible quality!: Terrible quality! The upper rim came loose after 2 months. Dick's won't stand behind it and is forcing me to deal directly with Joola. Why should I buy from a retailer directly if they won't stand behind the product?

Performance Issues after limited use: I’ve used JOOLA paddles for years, including the MOD TA-15, 3S, and multiple generations of the Perseus line, so I felt confident purchasing the Perseus Pro IV 16mm from Dick’s Sporting Goods. After only a few months of normal play, this paddle developed a noticeable crunching sound and a dead spot in the upper portion of the face. During regular match play, that area produces inconsistent response and reduced power compared to the rest of the paddle, which

Great paddle: I purchase the new joola 1v Perseus 16mm. I replaced my older Joola Hyperion. Nice paddle. More power and Spin. The $$ is high, but it’s worth it if you are an advanced player.

This paddle has pop: This Joola paddle has plenty of pop and was something I wanted to add to my game. Now working on controlling my shots, still hitting a few long. Good grit for top spin shots too. Overall a great paddle.

Joola Perseus: This paddle is just what I needed I am in the midst of changing my game tomorrow of a controlled game. I don't have to hit the ball so hard I can concentrate more on my control and my form, And this is the perfect paddle to do it with, it will move me up to wake me higher level. And it was great dealing with pickleball warehouse and actually talking to a person and there is a 30 day trial and I love that they do that!

Perseus IV 16mm paddle: While the grip is smaller than I am used to (I have big hands), I am getting used to it and it is not such a big deal with the stability this paddle is giving me on shots hit a little off center. Paddle wants to stay square to my aim point, providing better accuracy and a more solid hit.

Wow this Paddle is a dream: Paddle is more powerful than my 3S paddle but only a tiny bit less than the Mod TA15 Paddle. Reminds me of the perseus paddle I had a while back that I loved that also went illegal. This paddle is excellent for power and spin. After 3wks I'm finally harnessing the drops, resets, and dinks. I used a Selkirk Boom paddle today and they both felt pretty similar but the perseus iv was a bit more solid and stiffer while the selkirk boom had some reverberations. I actua

Great paddle: Tried 5 paddles, most of which were selkirk’s. I like the easy power. Ball just stays in and the paddle fit like a glove somehow. My spin is good but sometimes can fly on me. I have lots of pickleball residue on paddle just after a month. Don’t know if that affects anything.

Hands Down the Best Paddle Joola Makes: I’ve owned several paddles and this one had exceeded my expectations. It is light but has all the power I need for drives from the baseline with just enough cush for hand battles at the net. The large sweet spot for is also a plus.
