The Paddle

The Perseus is JOOLA's flagship elongated shape — the paddle Ben Johns himself plays with on tour. Rounded upper corners keep the sweet spot centered even when you're stretched out for a volley, while the extended profile gives you extra reach at the kitchen line and on defensive resets. The Pro V generation adds JOOLA's KineticFrame throat construction, which lets the frame flex through contact instead of stiffening up like a diving board — the result is a more predictable launch angle on drives and a softer, more controlled touch on drops.

The textured carbon face bites the ball for real spin, and the honeycomb polymer core keeps the response consistent whether you're ripping a put-away or resetting a fast exchange at the net.

Who It's For

✓ Aggressive, all-court players who drive, speed up, and pressure from anywhere on the court — this is not a soft-game-only paddle.
✓ Intermediate-to-advanced competitors (3.5+) who already have shot placement dialed in and want a paddle that rewards it.
✓ Players who want reach — the elongated shape covers more court on stretched volleys and overheads than a standard-shape paddle.
! Not the best fit if: you're brand new to the sport or lean heavily on a forgiving, dink-first game — the elongated head trades some sweet-spot width for reach and power. A standard-shape paddle will be more forgiving early on.

Pick Your Core

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

14MM · 7.9 OZ
Fast Hands, Hard Drives
Less dwell, quicker rebound. Built to speed the point up and finish at the net — the choice for players who like to attack early.
16MM · 8.1 OZ
Control, Dwell, Resets
More dwell time, softer contact. Better for resets and blocks at the kitchen without giving up meaningful power.
