JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV

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

The Paddle

The Pro IV is the previous generation of JOOLA's Perseus — the shape that first made Ben Johns' signature paddle a household name before the Pro V introduced KineticFrame flex tech. It's fully thermoformed construction (the face material runs straight into the handle, fixing the weak-neck issue that plagued earlier JOOLA paddles), with the same rounded upper corners and elongated profile that keep the sweet spot centered and give you reach at the kitchen line.

The textured carbon face still bites the ball hard for spin, and the polymer honeycomb core delivers the same connected, all-court feel — just without the newer throat flex tech, which is exactly why it comes in at a lower price point than the Pro V.

Who It's For

Players who want the proven Perseus feel at a better price — same shape, face, and core as the paddle that built the Perseus reputation, just one generation back.
Aggressive, all-court players (3.5+) who drive and speed up rather than play a purely soft, dink-first game.
Players who want reach without paying for the newest throat-flex tech — the elongated shape and sweet-spot positioning are unchanged from the Pro V.
! Not the best fit if: you want the most refined launch angle and touch feel JOOLA currently makes — that's the KineticFrame-equipped Pro V, not the IV.

What's Included

🎾
Hesacore Tour Grip
Optional upgrade. Cuts vibration, kills hand fatigue. Small or XS — most players run XS.
🤝
Tacky Overgrip
Premium feel. Locks in, no slip, no re-wrap after every match.
🛡️
Edge Guard Tape
Protects the rim and sharpens the look — built, not stock.

Pick Your Core

Same textured carbon face and elongated shape on both — the difference is how the ball comes off it.

14MM
Fast Hands, Hard Drives
Less dwell, quicker rebound. Built to speed the point up and finish at the net.
16MM
Control, Dwell, Resets
More dwell time, softer contact. Better for resets and blocks without giving up meaningful power.
