The pickleball world is buzzing about the New Gen3 paddle lineup from JOOLA, and for good reason. We’ve seen players absolutely dominate on the PPAtour with the alpha prototype models all year, and the production versions arefinally available to the public and they slapJOOLA launched the same three shapes and thicknesses theyhad available in their 2023 launch with the 14 and 16 mm Perseus Hyperion andScorpius and this year they added the Magnus shape for their new sign Tyson McGuffin.We will get into each shape and who it’s for, but we have to talk about the main reasonthese paddles are the Talk of the Town, the new propulsion corelet’s take a deep dive.

The team at JOOLA took the structure oftheir bestselling Gen 2 paddles and added a new component to the construction process thatallows the paddle face to store and release more energy than almost any paddle on the market theydid this by adding a layer of foam in between the foam filled carbon fiber perimeter common inthermoformed paddles and the Honeycomb Core in the center of the paddle allowing thecomponents to move more freely similar to the string bed of a tennis racket if you wantsome proof just listen to the sound they make like lowering the tension on a guitar stringthe pitch of these paddles is deep and can sound hollow now just like in tennis lower tensionon the paddle face paired with a stiff Beam on the perimeter creates a more powerful pieceof equipment because the additional foam layer.

Does not surround the entire core and it’s nota complete floating core the honeycomb still retains enough stiffness to offer control onsofter shots but the harder you swing the more Flex you’ll get allowing you to ramp up thepower when you need it while maintaining some of control in your game so the paddles hit like afreight train so how are you supposed to keep the ball in the court well this new core does allowfor some more dwell time or time the ball spends on the paddle face and that gives players moreaccess to spin making it easier to bend the ball back into the line on top of that JOOLA continuesto include their charged carbon surface which is their version of what the industry calls rawcarbon fiber to give players access to even more spin which the paddles desperately need toremain controllable now aside from the face and.

Core the 16 mm paddles fall around 8 oz whilethe 14 mm models are closer to 7.8 making these accessible weight wise to most any player swingweights range from the light and maneuverable 14 mm Scorpius at 108 to the more head heavyand Powerful Perseus 16 mil at 119 which is still really low compared to other options inits class leaving plenty of room for weighted tape customization or adding some tape aroundthe edge to protect it naturally the wider and thicker models feature higher twist weights makingthem more resistant to rotation on off Center hits which makes them better options for players whoneed a little bit more forgiveness like myself now besides the Magnus all of the shapes featureplenty of room for two-handed backhand let’s dive into the different shapes so you can decide whichpaddle is going to be right for you so in.

Their second generation in 2023 JOOLA launchedtheir version of a standard shaped paddle with the Scorpius and it was an instant hit with prosand amateurs alike now while it fits the standard standard shape and it’s 16x 8 in Dimensions theteam at JOOLA gives us an elongated 5 and 1/4 in handle that realistically measures at 5 1/2in giving players like Anna Bright plenty of room for two-handed backhands which we love likethe players they were built for the two Scorpius models benefit two specific play Styles extremelywell the 14 mil Anna Bright Scorpius is the most maneuverable paddle in the lineup but also hasthe second highest lateral stability this makes the paddle a dream for hands battle Specialiststhat love to start fights and dig their way back into them which is a pretty exact definitionof how Anna Bright plays the game players who.

Value hand speed and maneuverability will lovethe ab Scorpius and if you want to really step up the Firepower add some weighted tape on theperimeter like her and and it’s going to help you out the Collin Johns 16 mm model still has solidmaneuverability but the even higher stability makes this model A resetting and counterattackingmachine as one of the best right side specialists in the game Collin needed a paddle that helpedhim use his Tactical Defensive play style to get to the kitchen line and then punish poor speedups and high dinks once you got there players looking for this in their own game should choosethe CJ 16 mil Scorpius for the best result so the Ben John’s Perseus 16 was one of the topselling paddles of 2023 and the gen3 model has a good chance of following in its footsteps thePerseus shape is elongated at 16 1/2 in with an.

Extended 5 1/2 in handle and a squared face withthe highest power potential and most reach of the lineup the Perseus is a natural choice for Ben’sgame as he covers most of the core and he opts for the 16 mm option for its increased stabilityand predictability in his tactical game while most players looking for these attributes will choosethe 16mm model single specialist and aggressive players who prefer to swing more freely and shapeshots from anywhere on the court may prefer the 14 mil option for its higher maneuverability andfall feel that can help them make those shots with tight margins even on full swings thefirst generation JOOLA Hyperion CFS is still one of the most most popular paddles on the marketand the team at JOOLA wisely kept it in the lineup for their third generation even though itsspecs are incredibly similar to the Perseus while.

Still technically an elongated paddle the Hyperionshape has a rounded top that moves the center of mass further down the paddle and brings The SweetSpot with it to create a more Central and slightly more forgiving Hitting Zone along with thatsweet spot shift the lower Center of mass also creates a lower swing weight making the Hyperiona little more maneuverable than the Perseus while this may impact the plow through a tiny bitand on paper should be a little less powerful we never felt that we needed more power with theHyperion JOOLA Pro and legend of the game Simone Jardim prefers the Hyperion and both she and BenJohn’s have signature additions of the paddle now a question we often get is should I choose theHyperion or the Perseus while both paddles have similar performance I recommend the Perseus toPower Players and those who prioritize reach and.

The Hyperion to those who want those attributeswith a balance of forgiveness on the lower half of the face as well when you bring themost electrifying man in sports to your team you better have a paddle that can match that energyand the new Magnus shape from JOOLA does just that and I have a feeling it was Tyson himself whoinsisted on that neon pink aesthetic modeled after his paddle shape of choice the Magnus fits a moreNiche player featuring a shorter 5 in handle and an extra elongated face as a player who uses aone-handed backhand and is known for exceptional hand speed and consistency Tyson prefers more facethan handle and though I actually use a two-hander I found myself having a blast with this shapeI tried the 14 mm model and felt like I had the maneuverability of a standard shaped paddle withthe reach of it elongated two-handed drops and.

Dinks definitely felt cramped but my one-handedback hands felt Nimble and natural enough for me to get by players who don’t really use atwo-handed backhand may feel weary to try a paddle with such a short handle but I’d encourage themto try the Magnus and see what its forgiveness and maneuverability can do for their gameIf you watched this long you may be aware that the power of these paddles has caused some controversyin the pickleball world like the popular Gearbox Pro Power launched last year the Gen 3 Seriesfrom JOOLA sets a new bar for power performance in pickleball we’d love to know your thoughtson these new paddles and their power potential in the comments below with great power comes greatresponsibility and many amateur players will love their new putaway skills but will struggle tocontrol the ball players with good fundamentals.
