JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Graphite Pickleball Paddle

The Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Graphite Paddle from JOOLA gives players the opportunity to experience greatness — not only due to its materials and construction, but because you'll be using the very same paddle wielded by the most highly ranked player in men's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles pickleball history: Ben Johns. The design leverages JOOLA's unique foam-injected perimeter ("Hyperfoam Edge Wall") surrounding a 16mm (0.63") thick polymer core to improve consistency, weight distribution, and the size of the sweet spot. On the exterior of the paddle, you'll appreciate JOOLA's textured Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) which takes your gear's capacity for spin to the next level so you can shape your shots on a moment's notice.

The Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Paddle measures 16-1/2" in length, which makes it easier than ever to reach across the court, dig out those pesky low balls, and follow through on every swing. The 5-1/2" long handle allows for double-handed shots which are useful when you need to put a ball away quickly or topspin roll a winner down the middle. At 0.63" the core is much thicker than average in order to dampen impacts, maximize control, and reduce the time needed to recover from off-center strikes. This paddle is available in a standard weight of 8.4 or a lighter 7.9oz Swift weight, giving you control over feel while guaranteeing plenty of swing-weight without the need for a big windup. Its grip circumference is 4-1/4" with perforations that minimize moisture and comfortable ridges which let players align their fingers by feel alone. Every detail meet's Ben's exacting specifications.

The Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Graphite Paddle by JOOLA Pickleball delivers all the features needed to truly hone your skills and support advanced players in maintaining control over every inch of the court.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".

 

Reviews of the Hyperion CFS 16 Ben Johns Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff:

"The Hyperion CFS is the flagship model of the Pickleball line from JOOLA, and after playing with it for about a week it's easy to see why. Coming in at 16mm thick the paddle has incredible touch around the net which I attribute to the "reactive honeycomb" core. The "Carbon Friction Surface" let me bend the ball on drops and drives effortlessly, making it a blast to be offensive from anywhere on the court. The core and surface alone would have sold me on the paddle, but the "Hyperfoam Edge Wall" sweet spot and stability enhancement is no gimmick; this paddle has the largest sweet spot of anything I've tested. It's easy to see why this is Ben Johns' weapon of choice. If you, as a competitive pickleball player, can handle the 8.2+ ounce weight, the Hyperion CFS 16 has the spin, touch, and stability to take you to the next level. Mine certainly won't be leaving my bag anytime soon."
Joseph, Marketing Powerhouse (4.5 Player)

More Test Reviews of the Hyperion CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle:

"I have been playing pickleball for almost 4 years now and rate myself a high 4.5/low 5.0 skill level player. When I was asked to review the Joola paddles I was excited about the opportunity but honestly didn't think it would be a very different experience from other pickleball paddles I have used in the past. However, I found the JOOLA Hyperion to be an excellent paddle for both indoor and outdoor play. I had excellent control moving through the transition zone and blocking up at the net. I had about the same amount of power on drives and smashes as I do my other graphite paddle. What most impressed me on power shots was the feel of the paddle; there was very little vibration when hitting or blocking which made for a very comfortable experience. The sweet spot felt huge, and even when missing I didn't experience the rattle or clunk like most paddles.

Even though I'm not a 2-handed player, I liked the balance provided by the extended handle. The grip on the CFS 16 was perfect; I wouldn't even bother to re-grip it for fit. I liked the ridged grip that came with the paddle. It felt tacky and easy to hold, and didn't get slick after a couple hours of indoor play. I was hoping this paddle was going to be a bit of a gimmick so that I could demo it and move on with my life. I'm sorry to say that it was so awesome that now I really want one!"

"After playing with the new Joola Hyperion paddle for about 10 hours, I was Impressed. I liked the slightly top heavy feel, as it delivered impressive power while still retaining its touch. The carbon surface takes spin control to whole new levels! I like the hybrid size of the face and elongated handle, as it allows for two handed backhands. The best feature of this paddle is that there are no dead spots! I was hitting near the edge and it delivered like I had hit dead center. I just found my new paddle!"
