JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 3S 16mm Carbon Pickleball Paddle
With a new UPA-A Approval (not eligible to be used in USA Pickleball sanctioned events) and a refined 16mm Propulsion Core, the JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 16mm 3S Pickleball Paddle presents the next evolution of Ben’s signature paddle. This paddle brings many of the same features of the Gen3, but tones down the two-part propulsion core so that it eats up vibrations and offers a soft and controllable feel to go with the expanded sweet spot and light pop that you would expect from a 16mm paddle. As always, the foam perimeter enhances plow through ability while expanding the sweet spot and offering stability on off center strikes.
Weighing in at a familiar 8.0-ounces, the JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 16mm 3S Pickleball Paddle brings back the well-loved Charged Carbon hitting surface. Measuring in at 11” by 7.5”, this highly textured face offers extremely high RPM’s on spinning shots, impressive durability for daily play, and plenty of rigidity for ball-compressing control. The 5.5” handle with a 4.25” circumference puts a bow on the 16.5” overall elongated length, by encouraging two-handed backhands and point-ending slams.
Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"
