JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV 16mm

Our take on the JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV 16mm

The JOOLA Pro IV series was at the top of our list for most of 2025, and it is still standing the test of time (for now).

An added section of high-density foam inside the bottom corners/throat area of the Pro IV models allows the paddle to flex more than prior models, which adds forgiveness and enhances feel, power and dwell time.
