“I am new to pickleball and have been mucking around with a cheap paddle for a while. I have a racquet sport background, but I've been pretty average at the park where I play. After a lot of research, I decided on the Joola Hyperion CAS. I wanted a paddle with a longer face that provided both power and spin but wouldn't break the bank. I've played with it twice and I can tell you that this paddle is a great value for the money. It has decent pop but not so much that you lose control, but my shots are much deeper and harder with this. As for spin, I am finding that my topspin shots are diving nicely. I can swing hard with topspin and it will dive into the back line or drop into the kitchen pretty well. My spin serve has such a good kick (when I do it right!) that I have had opponents whiff on it a few times so far. I'm super happy with this purchase. If you are looking for a paddle that gives you performance for less than $200, this is a great option.”
“I've had 3 paddles and this one meets my needs! I have large size hands. This Ben Johns has a larger diameter handle and it's also longer and has great grip. I love it!”
“This racket improved my game relative to my other Head racket, one can initiate controlled spins easy and has not a hollow woody sound when playing with this racket. I highly recommend this racket for an intermediate player like myself.”
“I had a Franklin 17mm Graphite Paddle but it soon ended up with lots of dead spots. Also the rim was never glued in position so it was loose all the time. This Joolar is excellent.”
“Très satisfait. La poignée est d’un bon format et s’agrippe facilement. Le poids est bien répartie. Très léger. Belle qualité de produit. Très heureux de mon achat.”
“I am pretty new to pickle ball, and although I like the paddle feel and everything, I will say that part of the pedal face is peeling up on both sides around the edges, and the plastic edging is bowing out a bit. This is after just two months of use. People keep looking at it and telling me what a nice paddle it is, though, so I guess there’s some thing to that as well. Since I don’t have much to compare it to, I will give it a good rating, but durability is questionable.”
