Introduction
The JOOLA Kosmos Pro V 16mm Pickleball Paddle is built for players who want a premium all-court paddle that blends reach, control, and transition-friendly feel. JOOLA positions the Kosmos as its first hybrid-shape Pro V model, giving players a more balanced option between standard and elongated styles.
In the 16mm version, the Kosmos Pro V is designed for a steadier, more strategic response. It gives players enough reach to attack and counter aggressively, while still maintaining the dwell time and composure needed for resets, controlled drops, and smoother transitions into net play.
Kosmos Shape Advantage
Kosmos Shape: JOOLA’s Hybrid Design
The Kosmos Pro V uses JOOLA’s Kosmos Shape, which falls into the brand’s Hybrid Shape category. JOOLA says this design blends the reach of the elongated Perseus with the maneuverability of the standard Scorpeus, creating a more versatile option for players who want to drive from the baseline, counter at the kitchen, and transition smoothly into controlled net play.
That makes the Kosmos especially appealing to players who want a little more extension than a standard shape, but do not want the narrower, more demanding feel of a full elongated paddle. It is a more balanced geometry aimed at all-court performance.

- JOOLA’s model-specific hybrid profile
- Reach plus a medium-sized sweet spot
- Designed for versatile all-court play
Hybrid Shape

Specifications
Performance Profile
This performance profile reflects the Kosmos Pro V 16mm’s hybrid shape, thicker core, and all-court positioning.
Technology
Kinetic Frame
KineticFrame is designed to flex and recover through impact so energy is transferred more efficiently into the ball. On court, that helps the paddle feel lively on drives and counters while still supporting more predictable placement.
Propulsion Core
Propulsion Core creates a controlled spring-like response inside the paddle. The result is easier pace on speed-ups, counters, and attacking shots without making the paddle feel overly jumpy.
Hyperfoam Edge Wall
Hyperfoam Edge Wall adds perimeter support for more stability and forgiveness. That helps the Kosmos Pro V stay steadier on off-center contact and more consistent in fast exchanges.
Key Features
Kosmos Hybrid Geometry
Offers a more balanced middle ground between a standard paddle and a full elongated model, making it easier to play offense and control in the same frame.
Textured Carbon Fiber Face
Gives the paddle a crisp feel with strong spin potential and controlled pace for advanced all-court play.
16mm Strategic Feel
The thicker 16mm core leans toward dwell time, composure, and smoother transitions rather than pure pop.
All-Court Versatility
A strong fit for players who want to drive from the baseline, reset under pressure, and still move quickly enough at the kitchen.
Federico Staksrud Signature
Federico’s first JOOLA signature paddle
The Kosmos Pro V 16mm is Federico Staksrud’s signature version in the Pro V lineup. JOOLA positions this setup for players who want more dwell time, more strategic control in transitions, and a steadier all-court response rather than a pure power-first feel.
Kosmos 16mm vs 14mm Comparison
