JOOLA Perseus Pro V
Our take on the Perseus Pro V
JOOLA has introduced a new “KineticFrame” in its new Pro V models, which was inspired by kick-point engineering in hockey sticks and golf clubs.
The KineticFrame is built to flex and recover during impact, and unlike prior paddles with a “diving board” neck flex, the KineticFrame uses a proprietary flex-point architecture that allows the paddle head to move parallel to its original position.
The dual-pivot design produces a motion that JOOLA engineers say delivers:
– Predictable & repeatable exit trajectory.
– Precise power (ie. the more you put in, the more you get out).
– Reduced launch-angle deviation.
– Faster snapback for rapid exchanges.
– Improved energy transfer efficiency.

Questions people ask about the Perseus Pro V
Is the JOOLA Perseus Pro V worth it?
Yes, for advanced, aggressive players who generate their own swing speed and want a softer, more controlled feel than the Pro IV. It gives less free pop than the older model.
Which is the best JOOLA Pro V paddle?
The Perseus Pro V 16mm is the consensus all-around pick for its mix of reach, stability and controlled power. The best one still depends on the shape you prefer.
How much does the JOOLA Perseus Pro V cost?
$299.95, the same as every standard Pro V model in 14mm or 16mm.
Should I get the 14mm or 16mm JOOLA Perseus Pro V?
The 16mm is the safer choice for most players, with a larger sweet spot and a plusher feel. The 16mm has a 117 swing weight and a 6.3 twist weight.
Is the JOOLA Perseus Pro V USAP approved?
Yes, it's approved by both USA Pickleball and the UPA-A, so it's legal in any sanctioned tournament.

How We Tested
Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.
We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
