Our Review

I’m categorizing this one as a control paddle. This is the first thermoformed paddle that I’ve played that qualifies for the category. All the other 16mm thermoformed paddles fall into the all-court category. There are a couple of unique ways this paddle hits that differentiates it from the rest of the pack. 1) It has a much lighter static weight and swingweight than the other elongated thermoformed paddles and 2) it doesn’t have that patented stiff feel that all the other thermoformed paddles have. It’s actually soft feeling and offers good control.

Although it has a softer touch it still feels responsive and isn’t overly plush like the orignal Joola Ben Johns paddle. I think a lot of people who didn’t like the original Ben Johns paddle will like this one. However, if you’re coming from the original Ben Johns, the Perseus feels so much lighter and the plowthrough isn’t the same so don’t expect the same paddle that you had before.

The paddle is packed with all the latest technologies so you get the big spin and added stability but without the extra weight we are seeing from other brands. If you’re looking for a paddle full of tech need something that is lighter weight, then this is a good option.
