JOOLA Perseus Pro V Ben Johns 14mm Pickleball Paddle

Attack with reach and finish with speed using the JOOLA Perseus Pro V Ben Johns 14mm Pickleball Paddle. This is the sharper, more explosive Perseus option inside the Pro V family, built for players who generate pace and like to pressure from anywhere on the court.

The Perseus shape features a 16.5" elongated profile with rounded upper corners that help keep the sweet spot centered when extending for volleys or overheads. Compared to compact shapes like the Scorpeus, Perseus offers more leverage and coverage up top. Compared to the hybrid Kosmos, it feels more traditionally elongated and slightly more reach focused. The 14mm core reduces dwell and increases rebound speed, giving drives and counters a livelier response. This new iteration of a well-trusted paddle stands out as one of the most offense-oriented elongated builds within the Pro V line.

Technology

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

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.

Hyperfoam Edge Wall

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

World #1, Ben Johns, on Perseus Pro V

"The type of speed-ups I hit, I often hit the ball towards the end of the paddle, and that provides a good feeling where I can get a lot of torque on the ball, a lot of spin, without adding too much power."

— Ben Johns, Signature Pro
