Our Review
Power
On our spec-based scale the 16 mm version rates 8.25 for power: an elongated 16.5 in face and 8.1 oz weight add leverage, while the 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core keeps it in check. The 14 mm version rates 9 for power.
Control
A 16 mm core and textured carbon-fiber face point to strong control (9 on our scale). The Agassi shape tapers at the throat, which JOOLA says moves the sweet spot up the face for players who strike the ball high, a common habit for tennis players.
Spin
Its textured carbon-fiber face and elongated shape give it a spin rating of 9.5. JOOLA describes the surface as an advanced textured carbon face for precise shot-making; it doesn't name a branded grit coating, so it scores as a standard textured surface on our scale.
Sweet spot
A 7.5 in face and 16 mm core give it a sweet-spot rating of 8.75.
Maneuverability
At 8.1 oz in 16 mm (7.9 oz in 14 mm where offered) it sits in the midweight range. JOOLA doesn't publish swing weight, so we can't compare hand speed precisely across brands.
Stability
JOOLA credits the Hyperfoam Edge Wall and 16 mm core with stability on blocks and off-center contact. It doesn't publish twist weight.
Build quality
It uses the technology shared across JOOLA's Pro V range: the KineticFrame throat, Propulsion Core and Hyperfoam Edge Wall. JOOLA includes a 12-month warranty (registration required).
Feel
JOOLA describes a responsive, connected feel from the KineticFrame and Propulsion Core, with the 16 mm core adding dwell time compared with the 14 mm version. As of September 2026, JOOLA.com shows an average of 4.8 out of 5 from 89 ratings, a review pool JOOLA shares with the Graf Pro V. Verified buyers on JOOLA.com most often praise its balance of power and control, its easy swing and how well it suits former tennis players who like to shape their shots. Complaints are rare; one buyer found it slow to move across the body. These reports don't add up to a consistent pattern, so we haven't adjusted any rating.
Who Is This Paddle For?
- Tennis players moving to pickleball
- Players who tend to hit toward the top of the face
- All-court players who want reach and depth control
- Players who prefer a standard-width face should consider the Scorpeus
