Great feel
Great feel, great control. The handle is long enough, easy to generate good head speed, a definite step up.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The longer handle and aerodynamic shape of the Perseus are designed to help generate faster head speed while maintaining strong control, so it is great to hear that combination stood out to you. We appreciate you taking the time to share how it has elevated your game!

Joola Perseus
This racket is excellent. I’m an intermediate player, and I was able to notice the difference right away when playing with more advanced players because I get more stability in my shots, more power, and better defense at the net. Even my wife has used it a couple of times, and I could tell how her game improved just by switching rackets. I will definitely buy one for her. This racket is 100% recommended.

Very Dissatisfied
Bought a Perseus paddle 8 months ago and the top edge guard came loose causing the surface on the top of the paddle to separate. Clearly defective however Joola refused to replace because the paddle was over 6 months old. Very dissatisfied, you would think they would stand behind their product, at a minimum offer to replace at a 50% discount rather than response of "past 6 month warranty - sorry".

Solid powerful paddle
Played s few times with this paddle and still getting used to the power it produce and how quick the ball comes off the paddle.

Perseus control and power in one!
Purchased the paddle about 2 weeks ago and have only used it one day, but wow. It’s an incredible all around paddle. Control and power all in one.

Best paddle
This is my second JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle. I love it. I bought a second as a spare because it was on sale.

Lightness of the paddle
Loved this paddle until the edge started to come apart after less than 2 months of use!

Left wanting
I was disappointed to learn that the model I purchased wasn’t the current Joola Ben Johns Perseus CFS 16 Pickleball paddle, but a much older model. I think a distinction should be made on your website to let people know there are different versions of the same model. I am left wanting to trade up to the newest version.

Feels like it was made specifically for me
Tested a friend's Perseus cfs16 to see if I would like playing with this paddle. I really liked the weight and feel. Now that I have my own, I feel like I've been using it for months already. It is a great fit for me.

Solid Purchase
The Perseus gen2 is a step up from my gen 1 Hyperion. The paddle has a little more pop, control, and grip feel than my Hyperion. I can’t wait to test the gen3 Perseus one day.

great paddle, but handle too long for me
love the paddle itself (good power and still good control), but wish I could get it with a shorter handle - it would take off a little weight and I'd be less likely to hit myself with the handle when hitting close to the body.

Performance & Value-Best Bang for Your Buck!
I have been playing with my new Perseus 16MM paddle for a month. Great balance of both power and control! Best paddle value of the 10+ I have played with. Looking forward to my wife stealing this one so I can get another!

Everything you would expect from a Gen 2 paddle
After playing the Gen 3 paddle the Gen 2 is a bit of a disappointment particularly with spin. Still a solid paddle and will use until the TA15 is available.

Best birthday gift this year !
Have been working on playing a softer more precise game. Paddle has helped tremendously. Thought it might be too heavy for me, a petite female senior player, but it's not. Would recommend to all !

Great paddle but gets weak overtime.
The Perseus CFS 16mm paddle was great! unfortunately, the top of my paddle is crackling. The honeycomb gets squishy overtime.
