Details

Elongated 16.5" control paddle with 16mm Honeycomb Propulsion core, Hyper-Foam Edge Wall, and KineticFrame technology for defensive-minded players.

Middleweight/Small Grip

JOOLA Graf Pro V Steffi Graf 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Designed for players who take confident, full swings, the JOOLA Graf Pro V Steffi Graf 16mm Pickleball Paddle delivers extended reach with a noticeably large sweet spot. The 16.5" elongated profile adds coverage at the kitchen and leverage from the baseline, while the 16mm thickness keeps the response controlled and composed through contact. What distinguishes this paddle from JOOLA Agassi Pro V Andre Agassi 16mm Pickleball Paddle is the grip circumference - the Graf is 4 1/8 while the Agassi is a 4 1/4.

At the core of the Pro V platform is JOOLA’s KineticFrame technology, engineered to reinforce key areas of the frame for a balance of flex and stability. Combined with the Honeycomb Propulsion core and Hyper-Foam Edge Wall, this paddle manages energy efficiently. When we accelerate, it rewards us with heavy, penetrating drives. When defending, it absorbs pace and helps us redirect the ball cleanly. Good luck getting it past us. 

Key Features

  • KineticFrame Technology - Reinforced frame construction designed to enhance flex for offense while maintaining stability during defensive exchanges.
  • Honeycomb Propulsion Core - Increased dwell time for improved spin generation and responsive energy return on full swings.
  • Hyper-Foam Edge Wall - Perimeter foam support that expands the sweet spot and reduces vibration on off center contact.
  • Textured Carbon Fiber Face - Spin focused surface texture that grips the ball for controlled topspin and precise placement.
  • Elongated 16.5" Shape with 5.5" Handle - Added reach and leverage, ideal for two handed backhands and aggressive court positioning.

 

Technology

KineticFrame throat integration graphic
KineticFrame

Integrated into the paddle's throat to create a slimmer frame that flexes to store momentum and releases it on impact—helping improve ball placement during fast exchanges.

Propulsion Core internal structure graphic
Propulsion Core

Adds controlled flex inside the paddle for a responsive, spring-like effect—easier access to power on drives, counters, and quick speed-ups without having to swing harder.

Foam injection around the perimeter increases stability and forgiveness, contributing to a larger effective sweet spot and more consistent performance across the face.

 
Expert Review
"The larger hitting zone stands out immediately. It feels stable on counters and controlled on resets, but still delivers pace when you swing through. For players coming from tennis, the reach and leverage feel natural."
