I bought this as a second paddle to my Perseus 16 paddle. Not sire which i like better. They’re both awesome. I have power on my serve and return plus control on my drop shots and dinks. I am a fan.
Sticking with the Hyperion

I purchased this paddle about 90 days ago. I have been used to the Hyperion but thought I would try a faster paddle. It didn’t go well. I didn’t find near the power nor the touch that my old Hyperion had and not enough noticeable speed to warrant a change. I’m back to using a Hyperion.
Not what I intended to buy

I’m a 5’7” female and it’s just too heavy for me. I feel like I am playing with a 2’x4’ board. I’ve used it twice and now it just sits in my bag and I’m back to my old paddle.
Great paddle

Great paddle, but life expectancy is shorter than expected. This is my second Perseus 14mm . Sweet spot not as prominent as my first Perseus. Should be built to last longer for the price point.
16MM is better

I purchased the 14mm and 16mm versions, and I find the 16mm to be excellent – it feels better for both drives and when up at the net. The 14mm requires hitting the sweet spot, otherwise, it is unforgiving.

I really love this paddle I feel my game has been elevated greatly. My dink skills along with my power shots have been a big part of my new game all due to this paddle.

Like much better than the same in 16 mm. Recommended the switch for advance players.
Refund and purchase of new Perseus

I originally had the Gen3 Perseus, absolutely loved it. However as you are aware it was recalled. Joola has subsequently refunded my money. I then bought the latest Perseus 14mm I also love it I find it faster and I do not have a problem controlling it. I did put some tape towards the bottom of the paddle and on the sides. It performs fantastic. Thank you so much. Just let Ben know that I am coming for him

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Perseus Joola paddle has literally been a game changer. I've been playing pickleball for about a year and I felt the difference the first time I used it. For starters, it is very well-balanced and lightweight. The surface allows me to have greater control so producing spin is easier than ever and it has an elasticity creating greater power with every hit. While I have a large hands, it fits well and I haven't had any issues with slippage. The control it provides is allowing me to refine my game. This really is a game-changer and makes the game even more fun. 5 stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pickleball partners recommended this Ben Johns Perseus model while I was researching options to improve my game. It’s got a generous surface area which gives me control, and improved my power and consistency. I also appreciate the assist with spin, bounce, and speed the carbon surface delivers. This paddle is strong and stable too, so the perfect solution as I continue to learn and develop skill in my newest and favorite action-packed sport.
Perseus stands for Power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a 4.0 player who plays pickleball everyday. A lot of my friends have switched to Joola paddles so I was anxious to try one. The Perseus is the latest in the Ben John’s line. It had a carbon fiber surface and is very responsive. You can put a lot of spin on the ball with the Perseus. However power is its real standout. This paddle takes a little extra time to get used to due to the extreme pop it provides. Even a little tap is enough to send the ball out of bounds. Once you master this touch you can do great things with this paddle. I have seen a lot of people using art erasers to clean the surface of their carbon fiber paddles. That seemed messy and I wasn’t sure I wanted to do that. I contacted Joola customer service for their advice. I got a very quick response that indicated they were aware of the eraser method but recommended using a damp, clean microfiber cloth to clean off the face of the paddle. I have tried this method and it works well to get the dirt out of the surface and keep the paddle looking new.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very new to pickle ball and needed to get a paddle. This really fit the bill. It is lightweight and feels nice in my hand. It's stylish without being over the top. I just love it! It is holding up well during my newbie attempts at playing.
