Tossing up between a few paddle's

Hi everyone, so i recently got into pickleball and have really been enjoying myself! I'm quite new to the game and don't know a lot as i'm learning. I usually use the standard paddles they provide at the courts but just recently played a game where i borrowed a Joola Vision CS 14mm paddle and i noticed the dramatic difference in performance! However, when i went instore they said this was a very old paddle. They recommended the Six Zero DBD but they said this was also an old style and now the n...

For you J6CR users, where are you adding weight?

And how much are you adding? Im still playing around with it. Currently weighting it like I did my old Joola Pro IV with 1/2 gram per inch from the throat to about 3 and 9

Using last year’s forgotten tech and still loving it. Does that make me a 🦖🦕?

I’ve been using the GX2 Pro Power since shortly after it debuted in fall 2025. It was widely praised by top reviewers and I loved its consistent, controllable power (with a large sweet spot). Less than a year later, I continue to love it and use it as my main paddle. But I hear next to nothing about it. All of the latest hottest models — Joola V, RPM, Aura, etc etc — continue the transition towards foam cores, at often (welcome) lower price points, but when I look at the core stats / features th...

Just tried Joola 14mm Perseus V at my local club

And i currently play with a vatic i got off amazon…i feel like they play the same? Am i missing something? The Joola definitely looked and felt more premium but thats about it? Thoughts?

When the neighbours complain but you double down

Joola Kosmos Pro V - 16mm

How long do you give a paddle before deciding if it will be your go to?

Recently purchased the proton peacock as I heard it was pretty good all around. I normally use a JOOLA Agasis and just wanted to try something new. The feel is obviously very different between the two and so I’m trying to decide if it’s worth fully adjusting to the proton or not. It just doesn’t feel as consistent to me compared to my Agasis or the pro IV. I love the design and the spin is phenomenal; You can definitely shape the ball really well, but drops and soft game have been difficult to a...

The new Joola R4lly shoe

I just saw a few YouTube videos on it and looked it up and I'm really contemplating on getting it. There is some carbon fiber shank on the shoe for better lateral movement. I'm very curious on if it really makes a noticeable difference on lateral movement. This shoe reminds me of the Nike Alphafly marathon shoe in which they put a piece of metal in the shoe to make you somewhat faster. I read it was banned in marathons so it must be working. I'm not a Joola person trying to shill the shoe or ...

Review on JOOLA PERSEUS HEAT VISION 16 MM

Hi all, I’m thinking about picking up the JOOLA Perseus Heat Vision 16mm, but I haven’t seen much discussion or many reviews on it yet. My main concern is durability, would love to hear from anyone who has used it, especially how it holds up over time. I am planning to use it as my primary paddle for a while, so I want something that will last and not need replacing anytime soon. I usually keep a cheaper paddle for practice to help extend the life of my main one. Any insights would be really...

Joola v USAP Lawsuit

Anyone remember the Sport Squad, Inc. (Joola) v. USA Pickleball Association lawsuit started June 2024 where Joola sued for $10M? The trial won't start until at least 2027. Here is the timeline. https://preview.redd.it/k958k2nr1nrg1.png?width=1247&format=png&auto=webp&s=476d6369bbe586f4676b933afbaae7b5df7bf0a2 From the latest filing: *5.

Most Dangerous/Illegal Paddle You Have Seen?

I'm new to pickleball (about 4 months in) and have recently been learning about "illegal" paddles. I've seen people say paddles like the Ronbus EV2, JOOLA Perseus Mod TA-15, and Diadem Hush are borderline dangerous to play against. So, 2 questions: have you seen any paddles that are even more dangerous to use compared to the ones I've listed, and are the paddles I've listed truly as dangerous as people say they are?

Latest Joola vs old models

I am a new but relatively advanced player, since I played other racquet sports a lot since 6 year-olds. I saw that new paddles keep coming out every year with high price tags. So what are the differences between let's say, the new Joola Ben John Hyperion IV 16mm vs the 4 year-old model joola Ben Johns hyperion cfs 16 ?

Luzz Glider with Weight is a Joola4 with a wider sweet spot

at stock, the paddle is too light and pretty okay to use. but added weight at 3 and 9 (0.5g/inch tungsten), 4 grams on each side transformed this paddle. it's crazy how no one really talkd about it maybe it's not in your area yet, but outside the design(pink + glider2024? wth?)... it has low swing weight and above average twist weight which means so much room for weight. the balance point is great and even at stock, more than often you'll be hitting your sweet spot(but absolutely needs weight...

Joola Warranty Experience (Bad)

Thought I would share my experience with Joola warranty on a Ben Johns Perseus Paddle. Facts: 1) Bought as a backup and not use for almost a year as was using different brand. 2) Broke at junction of face and handle <10x play https://preview.redd.it/10ebxpf041rg1.jpg?width=4590&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a37eb4cb7fe1ad461307189e1a0a98c4a347a8d3 https://preview.redd.it/wimrjmf041rg1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e136f84411908138f3b7bf7b124ae2afeff98d02 3) Fi...

Foam alternatives to Joola Kosmos Pro V

i recently tried hitting with the kosmos pro V and i immediately loved the paddle. loved the feel, sweetspot, control, and pop. I wonder if there is any foam paddle on the market now that plays like the kosmos pro V? i just wanna invest in a foam paddle now for durability purposes but feels like the pro V

Watch before you buy Joola Perseus Pro V

The moment I wasn’t waiting for 3 weeks in less than 20 hrs of play and the paddle turned into a piece of plastic I started to feel the difference at about 8hrs The sound have changed and now the paddle is very like the old Cfs Two plastics slamming each other that is how it sounds like The power is not any better than other average paddles And to grit is half way worn I would really expect Joola as a leading brand to create a better product and I’m actually very surprised that Joola coul...

Joola pro iv still relevant?

What are your guys opinion now that the paddle scene has been taken over with full foams and durable grit tech, do you guys think the pro 4 is still a good paddle?

joola pro iv clone vs orig

Recently been using the joola clone from alibaba and really liking it. For context I came from using the luzz inferno but I sold it after about a month Then I just used my joola clone as my main paddle for about another month and really liking it My issue is the grit on it is really smooth since its a paddle that I got from a long while ago So now I’m thinking whether I should buy the original for better grit I really like how controlled the joola clone is compared to foam paddles, its not...

Joola Pro V Review - Good, Bad, Ugly

I have played with the Pro V for a while now, somewhere between 20 an 30 hours. I have tested the Perseus 16, Scorpeus 16, Kosmos 14 - no touches on Agassi or Hyperion. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone evaluating (I know to expect a lot of "Joola sucks" comments and I absolutely get it as someone who has had issues with their CS in the past). But! Want to give review, as the Pro V is a very unique paddle and probably perfect for some players (myself included). Here's my experience: Pro V h...

Is this a good deal for $50?

I have a Joola Hyperion that’s like 2-3 years old and is basically one big dead spot. I saw this on marketplace, apparently it’s used for 3 months with no dead spots. Is it worth risking it on a used paddle?

Review: 11SIX24 Hurache X Power 2

First impressions of the 11SIX24 Hurache Power 2 Note: I immediately added 12g (.4oz) to bring the weight up to 8.3oz. This paddle will replace my Joola Hyperion IV 14mm. Highlights: I play a fast high spin game and this paddle felt really good. It made killer topspin approach shots much easier. I was able to move the Franklin X-40 ball around with ease. (I didn't get to try the paddle with the LT Pro ball) My serves were more consistently deep. My slice backhand dink became more aggress...

I Tested JOOLA Pro V vs Pro IV Power Across Skill Levels

I've heard conflicting impressions on the power level of the JOOLA Pro V so I tested its power level vs the Pro IV across different skill levels and got some interesting results. For the test I got four players with different skill levels based on DUPR and had each one hit 8 full effort serves in an indoor environment with a new Perseus Pro V and Pro IV and then I averaged the serve speeds. The results: |DUPR|Pro IV (mph)|Pro V (mph)|Difference (IV - V)| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |5.8|58.3|58.2|\-0.1| |5...

Pros React to the New Agassi JOOLA Pro V Paddle | Brooke Buckner & Kate Fahey Interviews

How you guys find the RPM V2?

Been using Joola Perseus Iv for a year then switch to RPM v1 as it was similar like Perseus with the extra grit and ball stays on the paddle longer. Added weights from 3 to 6 and 6 to 9 o clock. Just got the V2 played a couple games and it feels slightly poppier. Might need more time to break in I guess. Overall v2 feels better for sure. How did you guys find the v2? I haven’t added any weights.

Anyone else prefer the pro 4 to the pro 5?

My favorite Joola paddle is still the pro 4 Agassi / Graf (can occasionally find gritty ones actually)

The new Joola Pro V is sick…

The New Joolas Pro Vs are sick... Most people at my level and below (I'm a 5.3+ DUPR) for some reason, are still using paddles that don’t give them enough feel or pop. As somebody who needs feel and feedback from my paddle as a former tennis player, it's imperative to me that the paddle I use gives me tremendous feel on the ball. Only then can I know if I need to give the ball more, or if I gave it too much and then I can make precise feel-based adjustments for future shots. The JOOLA lineup ...

How the hell is the Selkirk boomstick legal?

I got to demo this paddle last night after seeing every bro-bro at my local court with it. Immediately I noticed how stupidly powerful paddle this is. And that is coming from someone who had the illegal joola paddles, (mod TA) the gearbox power pro, etc. this one hit harder than all of them. Which makes me think Selkirk must be making secret handshakes with USAP, there is no other way in my mind that it would be possible. Does Selkirk have friends in high places or something? I started digging...

The Kitchen Pickleball Shop

I recently decide to buy a Joola Pro V from the Kitchen Pickleball after trying it out at a local pickleball place. I ordered it online from The Kitchen Pickball and it become messy. Who runs The Kitchen Pickleball Shop? Why do they talk like this? I am so confused. Are they trying to lie or not?

Joola pro V Perseus setup

What kind of setup do you guys have on your pro Vs? Personally like 2g on 2 and 8.

Aftermarket Paddles

I've been looking at new paddles and have noticed that I can get stuff like the Ben John Joola IV for 50 dollars on Ebay, and a BoomStik for 18 dollars on Shein. What are these prices? Are these paddles real? What's going on here?

The Tech Behind JOOLA’s New Pro V Paddles | Exclusive Interview

Brand New Joola Persues V. Is this normal?

It does matter what you play with

I just finished my morning PB session with a friend whom I have been playing PB with the past six months, and he has the same DUPR, 5.7 in singles, as I have. Our singles match is usually very close, either 11-0, 12,10, 15-13 or 16-14. We've played over 150 games in the past six months, and I win 76 games vs. 74 games for him. Prior to this morning, both of us played with the Joola Pro IV 16mm, but his wife went back to China to visit her family, and when she came back, she bought two "fake"...

Experiences with Joola's [Franklin X-40 imitation] HC-40 ball

My club, which has a deal with Joola, switched from the Joola Primo to the HC-40. IMO it does a good job playing like an X-40. Feels more consistent than the Primo. I think it's a little less neon-colored / slightly more yellow than an X-40, though it's a nice bright yellow. Any other thoughts / experiences with this ball? I've never played with it outdoors so curious what others' experiences have been like in other environments.

Fun Rec Points: Nick Kyrgios Vulcan Paddle vs JOOLA Pro V Kosmos

Clipped a couple fun points from rec play last night with the CAPA crew. I was playing with the Vulcan CHPT 01 Nick Kyrgios paddle (white long sleeve), which I don’t think many people have gotten court time with yet since it’s still in pre-order. Baby Will (maroon hoodie) was using the JOOLA Pro V Kosmos, so it turned into a bit of a paddle matchup. The Kyrgios paddle actually surprised me - good pop on speed-ups, nice spin on rolls, and still good control in the soft game. Second point ende...

These just arrived from Joola today. My current paddle is the Joola Perseus 4 Pro, and an Aliexpress clone. Can't wait to try these out.

Joola Customer Support

I keep hearing about bad experiences with Joola’s customer support, but they filed my claim and provided a replacement in 2-weeks. Not sure what everyone else’s expectations are, but I think this is fairly reasonable. Timeline: Feb 17 - claim submitted with photos and video Feb 24 - response and review by Joola Rep Feb 25 - I submitted new photos per request Feb 26 - claim approved, asked to snap in half, take a photo with claim details written on paddle for final step Feb 27 - replacemen...

First Games with the New JOOLA Pro V (Perseus & Kosmos) - Fun Rec Point

Clipped this point from rec play last night after getting some games in with the new JOOLA Pro V paddles (Perseus and Kosmos). I'm usually pretty skeptical of new paddles with big price tags ($300 😅), but my early impressions were surprisingly good. They felt very solid - good pop when speeding things up, but still plenty of touch for dinks and resets. Curious if anyone else has hit with the Pro V's yet. What were your first impressions?

Paddle grip?

Other than the eraser thing, how do you keep your paddle surface gritty as long as possible? I wish there was a paddle that had a good long lasting gritty surface. Maybe I play hard but my less than 6 months Joola Hyperion IV no longer has a gritty surface and I’m now looking for a new paddle. At $300 each, it adds up!

Paddletek return process is horrible

I would advise against purchasing paddles from this company due to their challenging return process. Unlike other companies such as Selkirk, Joola, or Amazon, there is no straightforward return option on their website. Instead, you are required to initiate the return by sending an email or making a phone call. When I contacted their customer support via email, I only received an automated response (but from a person) that did not include a return label or the return address. It took five days an...

Swell Pickleball

Has anyone played with a Swell pickleball? Just learned today that the Arnold classic tournament will be using them (they previously had both the joola HC-40 and the Selkirk listed as official ball). I can’t find any reviews online that are not ads. Is it like another popular ball? Can I buy it in store to use it (it won’t ship in time).

Perseus Pro IV for $205

You can get the Perseus Pro IV from well known resellers for $205, including the promotion(s). This couple with 3 warranty exchanges from Joola, a world class paddle for $51.25. In other words, I can dispose my Joola Pro IV paddle every four weeks for a brand new one at a cost of less than $2 per day.

Pickleball Effort Level

So me and my friend (both mid-20s, fit) were at a pickleball facility and saw two other people in their 20s playing 1v1 on a court they clearly booked. They looked pretty serious, athletic, good hands, nice paddles (looked like Joola 300$ 4th gen paddles), etc. We asked if they wanted to run 2v2 and they said sure. We start playing… and pretty quickly we’re down 0–8. They’re hitting clean shots, controlling the kitchen, just playing solid. Here’s the question: Since they booked the court and...

I know this is a long shot considering Speedup has been half out of the game for two years but I’ve got a Tide 14L on preorder and was wanting to know how responsive their support is? I core crushed a bunch of Joola paddles last year (four of them) and a CRBN Trufoam Waves (death rattle) and even had my PB Apes tour bag’s liner tear on me. Joola’s lousy CS lost me forever but CRBN and Apes were great. My second Waves is rattling again 😮‍💨 so yeah, warranty support is a huge factor to me. Any...

6.0 Coral Elongated

I just got my paddle in the mail today. Played with it for about 3 hours tonight. I’m a newish player coming off using the Joola Okkoto (bought it from Target as my first paddle). It took a while for me to get used to it, and I’m wondering if there are recommendations spots to add weight…or if I should even add any weight at all. I want to try making it more stable when defending lasers coming to my chest. Also I would like to know if anyone’s used the Joola Okkoto and what they think about it s...

It's 3026. What's your main go-to paddle?

Not asking for what paddle to buy. Just curious what everyone is using. what modifications did you do. i'm personally rocking the joola astraeus MXVI. i really like the feel of the full lumen ferrofiber core and compared to the bioxeno-mycelioid hybrid paddles of 3025 it isn't subject to the same ensoulment / sophont-parasitoid safety issues (RIP to Ben-Johns-Clone-Z729!!! Still my goat!!). i put a little extra weight in the 5th and 13th hyper-dimensions to increase the manifold sweet spot si...

Joola warranty program

My friend requested a paddle replacement from Joola through the warranty program a few days ago, and Joola customer service told her that she did not need to send back the core crush paddle. She just needs to write VOID, the ticket number, and her initial on both sides of the paddle, and breaks the paddle in half from the handle. Once that is done, just send the picture of the paddle snap in half, and Joola will send her the replacement paddle. There is no need to send back the damage paddle....

joola return policy

I am thinking about ordering Joola kosmos V . I have boomstick and pretty much love it. I want to try it for 1 month and return it. But Joola website return terms says item should be unused. Do they really not have 1 month trial period. I have been doing that from pickleball central without issue.

Ben Johns Breaks Down His New JOOLA Pro V Paddle

Protecting the original grip tape after so many overgrip replacements

I replace my overgrip a lot so it eventually starts to cause tears on the original grip from pulling off the sticky part and I'm hesitant to replace a stock joola grip with 2 yonex grips. Would the best solution be just put one later of scotch or electric tape on the original (just where the sticky part of the overgrip is) and stick the overgrip onto that?

New Joola V insane prices

Are the prices of paddles going out if control? How can a pickleball paddle be more than 300$? A very good tennis raquet is way less than that.

John Kew talks with Ben Johns about the Joola Pro V and other stuff

Really insightful interview. Great to hear from the GOAT about the new Pro V, his thoughts on paddle feel, current paddle standards, and what's next. Cool to hear about how they developed the Pro V with Ben's input and testing multiple prototypes.

Pros and hybrids

Are there any at all? Obviously the ever popular Joola and boomstick don't even offer the shape. Why? We all know the standard marketing. Lesser than pro level players are generally advised to reserve elongated for singles play. This doesn’t seem to be a factor at higher levels. Widebody seems to be more popular with females - and they don’t seem to come up short with power in baseline play or singles. Hybrids fill a gap for people who can appreciate the advantages of both shapes an...

Women and wide body paddle shapes

Just curious why more women in rec play don't opt for the wider body version of the major paddles, as is more common in pro pickleball. Like plenty of women use the Joola IV Perseus, but few use the Scorpeus shape. Do higher level 4.5+ women player opt for these wider body shapes in greater numbers? I could see women coming from tennis opting for an elongated for sure. Thoughts? Edit: yeah I actually have no idea if wb is statically more common for women pros, but maybe you get more or less...
