How the Ben Johns Perseus Pro V plays
The JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro V is a balanced all-court paddle. On our 0–10 comparison scale its strongest traits are power and spin. Its elongated shape adds reach and leverage for power and spin, but the sweet spot sits higher and rewards consistent contact. It comes in both 14 mm and 16 mm, so you can pick pop or control.
It is aimed at 3.5–5.0 players. It is not the very fastest paddle in hand at the net. It sits in the mid price tier — confirm the current price at the source before buying. It is part of the Ben Johns signature line.
