JOOLA Perseus Pro V Simone Jardim 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Shape Matters: JOOLA Perseus Pro V!

Find your ideal contact point and extend your coverage with the JOOLA Perseus Pro V Simone Jardim 16mm Pickleball Paddle. Built on JOOLA’s trusted Perseus elongated shape, this configuration emphasizes precision and comfort for players who strike the ball higher on the face.

The 16.5" profile delivers the same leverage and reach of the Ben Johns Perseus models, and the 16mm construction focuses on controlled response and intuitive pacing, but the handle is narrower for smaller hands or preferred feel. Compared to the compact Scorpeus builds, it offers more extension on volleys and overheads. Compared to the hybrid Kosmos, it remains more traditionally elongated and reach driven. Within the Pro V family, this paddle sits in the controlled elongated category, favoring consistency, clean placement, and steady transitions over raw explosiveness.

Key Features

  • Perseus Elongated Shape - Extended profile with rounded corners to maintain a centered sweet spot.
  • 16mm Core Construction - Increased dwell time and stability for measured transitions.
  • KineticFrame Technology - Throat integrated flex system for efficient energy storage and release.
  • Honeycomb Propulsion Core - Consistent energy return with reliable spin potential.
  • Hyper-Foam Edge Wall - Added perimeter support for stable contact.

 

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.

Hyperfoam Edge Wall perimeter foam graphic

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 Simone Perseus 16mm feels balanced and deliberate. It rewards clean mechanics and makes transition shots feel steady without giving up reach."
— PickleballCentral Gear Expert
