Introduction
The JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16mm Pickleball Paddle is designed for players who want to stay aggressive without losing control. Its elongated shape gives you the leverage and reach needed for modern offensive pickleball, while the 16mm build adds the stability and forgiveness many players prefer when rallies speed up.
From hard-driving baseline attacks to fast kitchen exchanges, the Perseus Pro V 16mm is built to deliver a connected response with confident pace. JOOLA’s Pro V technology package is aimed at players who want a paddle that feels explosive on counters and speed-ups, but still composed enough to keep placement repeatable under pressure.
Perseus Shape Advantage
Perseus vs Traditional Elongated: What’s the Difference?
The Perseus shape is JOOLA’s refined version of an elongated paddle, designed to deliver reach without sacrificing control. By rounding the upper portion of the frame, it keeps the sweet spot more centered and easier to access.
Traditional elongated paddles prioritize extension but often feel narrower and less forgiving. The Perseus profile maintains that reach while improving stability, making it more consistent during fast-paced exchanges.
Perseus Shape
- More centered sweet spot
- Better control and forgiveness
- Balanced power and reach
Traditional Elongated
- Maximum reach and leverage
- Smaller sweet spot
- Less forgiving on mishits
Specifications
Performance Profile
This performance profile is a practical buying guide based on the paddle’s elongated geometry, 16mm construction, and JOOLA’s Pro V technology package.
Technology
KineticFrame
KineticFrame is built into the throat area of the paddle, where it is designed to flex and recover through impact. The benefit is a more efficient energy transfer that helps the paddle feel explosive on aggressive swings while still supporting cleaner ball placement and more consistent shot output.
Propulsion Core
JOOLA’s Propulsion Core is designed to create a lively, spring-like response inside the paddle. For players, that means easier pace on drives, counters, and speed-ups without feeling like every shot jumps unpredictably off the face.
Hyperfoam Edge Wall
Hyperfoam Edge Wall adds perimeter foam for improved stability and forgiveness. It helps the paddle resist twisting on off-center contact, making fast reaction volleys, blocks, and counterpunches feel steadier and more controlled.
Key Features
Elongated Perseus Shape
Extends your reach for wide balls and finishing volleys while preserving a confident, centered hitting zone.
Textured Carbon Fiber Face
Delivers a crisp response with the grip on the ball that advanced players want for spin, shape, and controlled pace.
5.5" Extended Handle
Gives extra room for two-handed backhands and added leverage on serves, overheads, and aggressive counters.
Fast-Rally Stability
Built for modern points where hand speed, reset control, and quick redirection all matter.
Pro Player Signatures
Ben Johns – Blaze Red
JOOLA positions the Blaze Red signature as Ben Johns’ version of the Perseus Pro V. It uses a 4.250" grip circumference, giving players a slightly fuller in-hand feel that many will prefer for pressure play, firm counters, and added stability on hard contact.
Simone Jardim – Breeze Blue
The Breeze Blue signature is Simone Jardim’s version and uses a slimmer 4.125" grip circumference. That makes it especially appealing for players who want a trimmer handle feel, easier maneuverability, or a better fit for smaller hands.
Which Version Should You Choose?
- You prefer a thicker 4.250" grip.
- You want a fuller, more stable handle feel.
- Your game leans toward aggressive drives, counters, and pressure at the kitchen.
- You prefer a slimmer 4.125" grip.
- You value hand speed and maneuverability.
- You have smaller hands or simply like a cleaner, trimmer grip profile.
Best For You
Best for Power-First Players
A strong choice for players who want an elongated paddle that can drive through the court, attack counters with confidence, and finish points with pace.
Best for All-Court Competitors
The 16mm build helps keep the paddle composed enough for resets and transition balls, making it a great fit for players who need offense and control in the same frame.
Best for Buyers Choosing by Grip Fit
With both Ben Johns and Simone Jardim signature grips available, this line makes it easier to choose a version that matches your hand feel preference rather than settling for one stock option.

Who Is This Paddle For?
