JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle
JOOLA's original Ben Johns Hyperion: a 16mm Carbon Friction Surface paddle with elite spin and power for ~£153 - about half the Perseus price.
4.3 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) generates elite-level spin
- JOOLA tour feel and Ben Johns pedigree for around £153 in the UK
- 16mm Reactive polymer core balances control and pop
Watch outs
- Heavy at 8.4 oz with a head-heavy balance - slower hand speed at the net
- Superseded by the Hyperion Pro IV and Perseus, so it is last-gen tech
- 4 1/4" grip runs small for larger hands without an overgrip
£152.99
Typical price - check Amazon UK for live pricing.
