The Perseus Pro V is JOOLA's elongated control paddle: 16.5 inches long with a 16mm core that adds dwell time for resets and soft touches. It suits intermediate-to-advanced players who want reach and consistency without sacrificing feel at the kitchen line.

Overview

The Perseus Pro V is the elongated workhorse of JOOLA's Gen 5 line: a longer-than-standard 16.5-inch face and a 16 mm core that together give you extra reach at the baseline and the soft, predictable feel you need when you're grinding it out at the kitchen. The KineticFrame throat flexes on contact and springs back, which makes drives feel more effortless and dinks feel dialled in. If you like playing from the transition zone and want a paddle that punishes errors less, this is your shape.

Highlights

Extended 16.5 in face: more reach on wide balls and groundstrokes
16 mm core: longer dwell time for better reset consistency
KineticFrame throat: patent-pending flex system stores and releases energy on contact
Textured carbon fibre face: high spin potential with a gritty, reliable bite

The pro behind it

Ben Johns is widely regarded as the greatest pickleball player of all time: 123+ PPA Tour titles, 21 Triple Crowns, and a 108-match singles winning streak that still stands as a professional record. He signed a lifetime contract with JOOLA in 2023, and the Perseus shape reflects the control-oriented, analytical style that made him unbeatable for years.
