Engineered for Absolute Court Domination
Step up to the kitchen line with the ultimate evolution in paddle technology. Developed in direct collaboration with the world's #1 pro player, **Ben Johns**, the **JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16mm** is meticulously engineered to blend surgical precision with devastating, explosive power. Powered by the all-new KineticFrame™ architecture and a premium multi-layered Charged Carbon Surface, this paddle channels maximum energy from your swing path directly into the ball, generating massive spin-on-demand and a crushing 40.5mph peak exit velocity—while the plush 16mm core provides the soft reset touch required to freeze aggressive attacks.
1 Charged Carbon Surface with Propulsion Tech
Ordinary carbon surfaces wear down quickly. The Perseus Pro V utilizes a multi-layered, premium raw carbon friction weave bonded with JOOLA's proprietary Charged Carbon polymer coating. This multi-layered surface grabs the ball-cover, maximizing friction for insane rotational spin while adding a spring-like propulsion response for rapid ball deflection.
- Maximum surface friction grit remains razor-sharp through intense use
- Generates relentless spin RPM on heavy drives and sharp cuts
- Combines massive spin retention with high-elastic energy return
2 KineticFrame™ & Thermoformed Unibody
Built for the absolute highest limits of structural integrity. Standard paddles have weak joints at the handle that flex and break. The Perseus Pro V is thermoformed as a single continuous unibody under extreme heat and pressure. The KineticFrame™ perimeter and handle are injected with high-density, shock-absorbing foam, maximizing stability and expanding the sweet spot edge-to-edge.
- KineticFrame™ optimizes energy transfer for a crushing 40.5mph peak exit velocity
- Foam-injected walls expand the sweet spot, completely eliminating dead zones
- Thermoformed unibody ensures lifetime durability and zero handle flexion
3 Feel-Tec Pure Comfort Grip & 5.5" Handle
The premium white Feel-Tec grip offers unparalleled tackiness and absolute control. Its moisture-wicking and slip-resistant texture provides a secure bond to your palm, allowing you to relax your hand tension for softer drops and quicker wrist-roll snaps. The elongated 5.5-inch handle is specifically designed to accommodate double-handed backhands.
- Moisture-wicking, tacky grip wrap prevents slipping in hot matches
- Elongated 5.5" handle length is ideal for two-handed backhands
- Absorbs shock vibrations to protect your forearm, wrist, and elbow
4 Elongated Aerodynamic Silhouette
Maximize your reach, coverage, and power. The aerodynamic elongated silhouette (16.5 inches) allows you to cover more of the court, reaching deep dinks and blocking wide passes with ease. The curved head reduces aerodynamic wind drag, allowing you to generate incredibly fast paddle head speed at the kitchen line.
- 16.5" elongated profile maximizes your court reach and coverage
- Curved head design decreases drag, boosting hand reaction speeds
- Higher sweet spot provides massive leverage and whip on heavy overheads

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Traditional raw carbon fiber surfaces rely solely on the raw fabric weave to grab the ball. Over time, friction grit degrades, reducing spin. JOOLA's Charged Carbon Friction Surface integrates a high-traction polymer bonding agent. This process keeps the carbon fibers tightly aligned and provides a secondary layer of elastic propulsion. The result is a highly textured surface that provides extreme diagonal ball-grip for maximum RPM, while returning high propulsion energy on aggressive drives.
Thinner paddles (13-14mm) deliver raw pop but absorb less energy, making dinking and defensive resets much harder due to "hot" bounces off the face. The 16mm thickness absorbs high-impact energy, letting you slow down fast balls, reset hard drives, and place delicate dinks with surgical touch. Thanks to JOOLA's thermoformed unibody frame, you still get devastating drive power, giving you the ultimate control-power hybrid.
The elongated 5.5-inch handle is specifically designed to support modern double-handed backhands (Ben Johns' signature shot). It provides ample room for two-handed grips without crowding your palms. Additionally, the extra handle length creates a longer leverage arm, generating higher swing whip and head speed for baseline drives and heavy roll-volleys.
Yes, absolutely! The JOOLA Perseus Pro V is fully approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) and certified by the UPA-A (United Pickleball Association). It is officially registered on the tournament paddle database, making it 100% legal for all sanctioned local, regional, and national pro championships.
