JOOLA Perseus Pro IV
Our take on the Perseus Pro IV
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.

Questions people ask about the Perseus Pro IV
Is the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV worth $279.95?
Yes. It's a really good paddle in either thickness, and both feel plusher and more forgiving than the 3S in the transition zone and on off-center hits.
Should I get the 14mm or 16mm JOOLA Perseus Pro IV?
The 16mm gives a plusher feel, more baseline power and easier resets. The 14mm offers more pop and maneuverability at the kitchen line.
How much power does the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV have?
It has high power, and serves and third-shot drives come off a little hotter than the 3S thanks to throat foam that lets it flex on contact.
Who should buy the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV?
Players who like to drive their third and drop their fifth. It's really easy to hit a good drive with it, and the 16mm suits players who block and reset rather than counterpunch.
Is the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV USAP approved?
Yes, it's approved by both USA Pickleball and the UPA-A, so it's legal in any sanctioned tournament.
