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!

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.

The JOOLA Perseus Pro IV is a lot of fun. I have the 14 mm version and it's one of the most explosive paddles I've played with. It's built for players who like to drive and attack, so it may be difficult for players who rely more on touch and finesse. For that reason, I don't recommend it for beginners. However, if you're a rising intermediate or advanced player who wants a high-level power paddle, the high price tag is worth it for you.
