Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV
Elite all-court reference paddle: reach, controlled power, and spin-friendly face for advanced players.
JOOLA
A hybrid-shape Pro V paddle that blends baseline drive power, kitchen hand speed, transition control, and a more usable sweet spot than a fully elongated shape.
The 16mm build suits measured all-court construction; the 14mm build adds a quicker, poppier response for aggressive first-strike play.
