Great paddle : Great balance. Nice weight. Good spin. Longer length handle is good. I enjoy using this paddle.

JOOLA Vision 16mm: Upgraded from a beginner paddle. Really like this one. Gritty surface allows more skin on my hits.

Joola vision: Love the paddle at the kitchen, grip is comfortable but the white color gets dirty fast.

Joola 16mm Radius: This paddle was beyond my favorite. So soft, excellent touch around the kitchen line. Great resets. However, after 3 months of play the handle became very loose. It was going to fall off if I continued to play with it. I’m hoping that this was a manufactured error, however I’m not so sure. Perhaps they paddles break down in 3-4 months to force you to buy a new one. Disappointed in the longevity of the paddle, but for 2 months it was my favorite. ***PBC Response*** Hi Tyler, th

Joola Vision CGS16 Graphite: Surprisingly good model, you could get one between 7.8 or 8.1 weight-wise, slightly smaller face but you get quickly used to it. Good spins and especially good/fast for net playing. Not top-heavy.

#1 Paddle after Several Tested: It's light and feels quick in the hand. Very responsive and controlled. Spin is good. Handle is great. Moderate power. I love this paddle and it is my new go-to.

Nice paddle - a few issues: The paddle felt good...played well. Nice 'grippy' finish and I had some good power with it as well as finesse. The issue was the grip - it was too large for my smaller woman's hand. 4.5" I believe. It felt uncomfortable and I had less control with the slightly larger grip. WHITE was dirty in a day. It was returned as I just couldn't grip it well.

Wish it came in smaller grip: The review said it was fine for women, but I am 5'3 with an average hand size for my height. The grip was too wide and the handle felt heavy; my arm and hand were sore after use, so I had to send it back. But, the kick off the paddle was great, and I think I would've loved it if the handle fit better for me.

Joola Vision CGS 16: I have played with many, many paddles over the past two years, all brands and all prices. The Joola Vision CGS 16 is my all time favorite. A paddle is an individual decision based on the type of game you play and this paddle gives me everything. Control, power, spin and not heavy. I don't need extra power so the control, spin and weight are absolutely perfect for me. The durability of these paddles is also great. I have worn out my first two over a two year period and just p

Joola Vision 16mm 7.9 oz: My wife bought it for me but liked it so much, she kept it for herself. If you are looking to move up to a better paddle, great combination of power and touch.

Tried several and this is my favorite : Tried the Ben johns and it was just too too heavy. The power and control on this are awesome. I had the gearbox cx14 which was awesome for control but had weak power. This has it all. So happy with vision

Joola Vision CGS 16: Paddle has great control and power. Great at the NVZ line with fire fights. Add weight to the sides and top. Very balanced paddle! Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great all around paddle.

Good Power: I have played with this paddle 2 weeks and I love the power and feel I get with the paddle. I previously played with a Selkirk Vanguard which was also a good paddle. I just feel I can move this paddle quicker and get better net play with this paddle.

Love this paddle!!: First good paddle that I bought (changed from a $40 Onyx that I got at academy) and I absolutely love it. I’ve played with some higher-dollar paddles like Ben John’s Franklin paddle, and it was nice, but this one is on a different level for me. You don’t have to hit nearly as hard, more control off the face, don’t feel any shock from the ball, consistency hitting the ball anywhere on the face, and the extra grip length gives me much more spin output. Huge fan of the paddle fr

Best paddle...ever.: I've used 3 different paddles over the past year and this one offers the best control, power, and maneuverability of any paddle I've used. Unlike the Hyperion line, this paddle isn't heavy (perfect for a petite woman). The balance of the paddle is also perfect for me making it stable for all types of shots. I just love it!

Paddle : Love my paddle. My email address was off so I didn’t know it was in the mail. I called to check on it and found it was in the mail and arrived in time to play that night. It was the right size grip, handle length and weight. Control at the net and 3rd shots felt great.

Great Paddle!: This new Joola paddle is the best paddle I have ever played with. I have purchased and played with 5 different brands and 12 different paddles over the past 18 months and this one is the the best of them all. All of the other brands were very good and the paddles were nice, but this one seems to have a larger sweet spot and less vibration on the miss hits and fits my game while still giving me a lot of power and control. I will definitely get another one of these.
