JOOLA Perseus Pro V Ben Johns 16mm Pickleball Paddle

98Universal Acclaim

The JOOLA Perseus Pro V is overwhelmingly praised by reviewers as an excellent all-court paddle that delivers a strong balance of power and control. Players consistently highlight its responsiveness, precision, and solid construction, with many calling it their favorite paddle. The main criticism is a less impactful sweet spot compared to the Pro IV model, though this is offset by improved dwell time and control.

Perseus 14mm: Perseus Pro V 14mm was an excellent paddle. It's extremely solid from the first hit. I added weight on both sides and the forehand and backhand drives were awesome. Highly recommended!

All the power of the V4 and even more precision: Now 3 weeks in, I’m noticing the responsiveness of the V5 14mm Perseus Pro and the dialed in control. I feel like I’m hitting my spots more often with the V5 and I was loving my Pro V4s. Playing with Joola over the past 2 years gives me the confidence of knowing and feeling that I’m in control of my shots.

Perseus review: Best paddle I’ve ever had. Have played with the Perseus since its inception and I’ll never use another paddle. Wasn’t a fan of the PRO IV Perseus, it was a bit too powerful for me, but the pro V was the perfect combination of control and power.

Pro V: Played with Pro IV for the past year. This paddle has a less impactful sweet spot. Greater dwell time. Still to the same dull carbon face......

I played with the elongated JOOLA Perseus Pro V and it is excellent. Has it reinvented the wheel? No, but JOOLA doesn't need to.
