Joola 16.5'' Okkoto Traditional Pickleball Paddle - Yellow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary from Influenster and JOOLA in exchange for my honest opinion. Since my husband is an avid Triathlete and started playing Pickleball after completing his third full IRONMAN, I determined his input would be of better use for fellow players and this is what he had to say… In comparison to my current paddle, the grip and feel are more comfortable. Although being about 1/2 ounce heavier, weight distribution is more balanced - thereby the feel is actually lighter - allowing a smoother and more consistent swing. Shot Performance improved with accuracy and speed on returns. Contact with the ball is consistent on the paddle surface and seems to absorb impact well. I observed some reduced noise level when using the JOOLA Paddle. In addition, I love the style and design. Overall, The JOOLA Paddle performed very well and helped elevate my game. I enjoy using the JOOLA Paddle more than my previous paddle and look forward to continued Pickleball Play with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the JOOLA Okkoto 16mm Pickleball Paddle for a while now, and it has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and feel. The 16mm polymer core provides excellent control and a soft touch while still delivering enough power for aggressive shots. Whether I’m placing dinks at the net or driving shots from the baseline, the paddle responds well and feels stable in my hands. The carbon fiber face enhances spin, which is great for adding extra finesse to my shots. It’s not the most spin-heavy paddle out there, but it still gives me enough grip on the ball to execute effective topspin and slices. The comfortable grip is another plus, offering good sweat absorption, which helps during long matches. At 16mm thickness, the paddle provides a nice balance between maneuverability and power. It doesn’t feel too heavy, allowing for quick hand speed at the net, yet it’s still solid enough to generate pace on my shots. The bright yellow design is a nice touch—it stands out on the court and looks sleek and professional. While the Okkoto 16mm is a fantastic mid-tier option, it may not have enough power for players who prefer a more aggressive game. Additionally, the spin potential isn’t quite at the level of JOOLA’s high-end paddles like the Hyperion series. That said, for an intermediate to advanced player looking for a well-balanced paddle at a reasonable price, this is a great choice. Overall, the JOOLA Okkoto 16mm is a well-rounded paddle that provides a solid mix of control, spin, and power. It’s a great investment for players looking to improve their game without spending top-tier prices. Highly recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this paddle when I played the first pickle ball with my friend. I have not gotten used to this,so it will take me a while to know how it works for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect paddle for me. I am by no means a professional player, but I do enjoy playing pickleball! The handle is comfortable and durable. The actual paddle is great quality. It is lightweight but not cheap so it still has a little weight to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a novice pickle baller, this paddle is awesome. It’s well-made, has a good grip, and it has a subtle sandpaper like texture on the paddle part, which helps with gripping the ball. Can’t go wrong with this paddle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed playing pickleball with this paddle. It has a medium weight to it, making it good for beginner and intermediate players. The handle is long enough and wrapped in a medium thick tape that makes it easy to hold and maneuver, even with sweaty hands. The paddle width is wider and the sweet spot makes a satisfying pop when the ball makes contact.
