JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV

Hand-assembled to your spec — not pulled off a shelf. Pick your grip and your thickness, we build it and ship it ready to play.

The Paddle

The Pro IV is the generation of Perseus that built the shape's reputation. Its headline tech is Tech Flex – Power: foam sits outside the frame but under the edge guard, feeding the 16mm Propulsion core to widen the sweet spot and add pop while keeping enough dwell to actually hold the ball. A Hyper-Foam Edge Wall props up that sweet spot and fine-tunes the balance, the face is textured carbon fiber for long-lasting spin, and the handle runs a full 5.5" for two-handed backhands.

On court it reads power-first all-court. Lab testing scored it 9.4 for serve and drive power and 8.6 firepower, with a 117.3 swing weight that gives you real plow-through and a 6.31 twist weight that keeps mishits alive. Spin came in lower at 4.9 — this paddle wins with weight behind the ball, not shape. Choose 16mm for the extra dwell and steadier resets; choose 14mm for the snappier feel, more pop on counters and a lighter swing for aggressive net play.

Who It's For

Drivers and big servers — a 9.4 power rating and 117.3 swing weight mean the paddle carries the pace for you off the baseline.
Players who don't always find the middle — 6.31 twist weight plus the Hyper-Foam Edge Wall keeps off-center contact from dying on you.
Two-handed backhand players — the 5.5" handle leaves room for the second hand and lets you swing up at high balls.
! Not the best fit if: you buy paddles for spin. The Pro IV scored 4.9 for spin in lab testing — well behind its power numbers. If your game runs on heavy topspin rolls, a grittier, spin-first face will serve you better.
