Joola Paddle: I absolutely love this paddle, it has really given me great control and power on my hits, I just have more controlled spins to my shots and just is an overall well rounded paddle.

Great Paddle for 3.5 and above. : Lots of control and spin off the carbon surface. Good value under 190.00 in price. If you play a lot 3 + per week might last a year. I bought 2 and rotate. Needs weight on the top of the paddle for maximum power. I just hope they don’t disco as the shinny new toys come out.

Nice Paddle !: I upgraded from a Selkirk Amped S2. Little less power but better touch which has helped my game. My only complaint is the grip tape which doesn't seem to do so well with sweat.

Joola Hyperions: Frame a little too small. Hit shots occasionally on frame.

Paddle: I’m beginning to get used to the paddle. The weight is good and allows for playing the softer game while still having power. The biggest complaint is that I could have ordered the exact same paddle that included the paddle cover from Amazon for the exact same price. For a paddle in this price range, I would think a cover would be included.

Joola Hyperion paddle: I think it’s a great paddle, but I don’t understand why a dark colored grip is not used. The white grip started turning dingy after just a week of use.

Not much control for me: I am a lower level intermediate player (just under 3.0). I ordered the swift version thinking that I would be able to react faster. However, I had to sacrifice control and had too many pop-ups. Perhaps that would not happen to me if I was a more advanced player. I also did not like the white handle but that is easy to replace. I returned the paddle.

Carbon fiber wears out: I wrote a glowing review of this paddle on July 30th. Everything is still as I describe there except that there is no long spin in the middle of the forehand side of the paddle. There is a noticeable difference in the amount of spin I can impart. I used the signature side for my forehand as an old habit from tennis that I learned on wooden rackets - like the Jack Kramer racket. In those days the sweet spot was about the size of a quarter. So yes i do hit the ball in the v

Hyperion CFS 16mm: Had a $60 Dicks special for 2 months as a beginner. Upgraded to this paddle 30 days ago and immediately noticed the improved drives, touches at the net, topspin, etc... More power on hard serves to within a foot of the baseline. Have not experienced any issues with the handle. The grip will discolor from white to grey pretty quick. If you have the $200 this is a great paddle to combine power and control.

Excellent balanced qualities: I had two paddles - one that was heavy and designed for power. The other was light and had very good control. Both were getting old. I wanted a light control paddle with a wide sweet spot. This paddle has a great balance of properties. I liked it the first time I played with it. As I play more and adapt to the paddle, I like it even more. The only negative is aestetic. The white handle is excellent quality but will look nasty in a few more weeks of play.

Excellent at First!: Such a great paddle that is flawed. Carbon Fiber face is great for feel after break in period but highly admired for its spin. Only concerning issue I experienced with two paddles is they both broke at the throat. Not Good!!! Joola fix this issue and this will we be five star paddle...

Johnson PB paddle: Not a long handle for senior use. ***PBC Reply*** Hi Gary, thanks for the review. While this paddle enjoys some great reviews and a high rating overall, you are right in that not every paddle is the best one for every type of player. You may not be aware of our great 30-day Paddle Test Drive policy, which allows you to return any new paddle for any reason within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, no matter how much you've played with it!

Not for beginners: I purchased this when I was about a 3.0 player and it was difficult to control the amount of power it provided. I think this paddle should not be used by anyone under a 3.5 as you will not like how many errant shots and volleys you make. I actually returned mine because the edge guard started to come off after one month of play and I expected a lot more at this price point. Also, one big negative - while the handle is very soft and smooth, it immediately turns an ugly black an

Great paddle: Paddle is definitely great, im not a huge fan of the long handle but if you use a two handed backhand I'm sure it's nice. Great resets Great drives I currently use it as my main paddle. Lacks a little in hand speed at the net but I don't really notice it to much.

From my perspective - thoughts: This paddle at first use was not going to remain on my list for the trial paddles. I focussed on the Tempest Reign and the CRBN 1 and was leaning towards the CRBN 1. Then I went back to the Joola paddle and realized that this was the best fit for me. I was used to a longer paddle and seemed to be missing shots because of the lack of length. I llke the control and the power of the Joola paddle and I've gotten used to the length of it too. I'm glad that I c

Joola Paddle: Good balance, light but still medium power. Was surprised how good paddle felt on resets, drops, dinks. I bought this thinking it was a power paddle, it isn't but control and feel were as good as my Selkirk Amped Invicta with slightly more power.

Great paddle and buying experience: I’m a 3.0 - 3.5 player depending on the day, and evidently, the phase of the moon. Consistency is not my strong suit, but spinning is a huge part of my game. I was intrigued with the Ben John’s Hyperion paddle and wanted to try it out. PickleBall Central’s 30-day return policy was a perfect solution since I also knew the paddle was heavier than I’m used to. I called to confirm the return policy and they were very understanding and supportive. Based on that, I

Great Paddle- Instantly a Better Player: This paddle made me a better player instantly. I am hitting the ball with more accuracy, touch, shape, and consistency. From the serve to the drop to the dink to the volley, this paddle has helped my game immensely. The sweet spot is huge and even off center hits find their way over the net. I really love the feel of the head heavy design and the handle is absolutely perfect. I come from a Prince which I was feeling pretty good about, but this paddle has

I tried the CFS 16 Joola: It’s heavy and I’m a 205 6’4 individual. My initial reaction was excited to try. I played several games. In 1 I fell behind 8-1 with opponents I routinely have no problem hanging with. At 10-1 I went back to my regular paddle and lost by 2 points. It would have taken inordinate time to get it feeling right though I’ll never really know. Vastly different from the Head Gravity. Different strokes for different folks…..***PBC Reply*** Hi G.A., and thanks for your feedback.

Love This Paddle: It has a large sweet spot and a soft touch. It feels like a dream compared to my old paddle. My only criticism is that mine weighed in at 8.7 oz (over the range listed). Since I'd been playing with a 7.8 oz paddle prior, it's a bit of an adjustment. Nonetheless, it's already helping me improve my game. I highly recommend.
