Description
At the JOOLA headquarters the assignment to create the JOOLA Heleus Ball was codenamed the "Perfect Pickleball Project." The team consisted of product developers who also have a deep passion for playing pickleball. They combined systematic testing techniques with actual game play on the pickleball court to evaluate dozens of competitors’ pickle balls and prototypes. They then focused on three core functions: consistent flight, liveliness, and durability. Using the Fibonacci Sphere Algorithm, JOOLA has produced a patent pending design for 40 precisely equidistant holes. We paired that with our 70+ years of experience in developing and testing table tennis balls to ensure the playability and consistency of each and every ball. The design and materials used to perfect the playability have the knock on effect of producing a premium, long lasting, durable pickleball for outdoor or indoor play.

Below Average Ball

This ball goes out of round & has terribly inconsistent bounces after a couple points. Used in 5.0 tournament play & unless they got extremely mushy (85 degrees+) the balls were bouncing terribly. Especially on serves, returning the ball was near impossible. It feels & looks very similar to a Durafast 40, lighter & flies. Quite hard. Plays like one too, maybe slightly worse even
Out of round brand new

Bought a four pack to practice with before a tournament that will be using these. Two of the balls right out of the pack were out of round. Throw them up in the air with spring right out of the box and it wobbles crazy. The two that were playable were fast but went oblong after a couple games.

I feel like I'm going insane seeing these reviews. This is far and away the worst ball I've ever played with and everyone I've talked to in person agrees. Stop sponsoring tournaments you're literally just throwing away money until you actually take the time to produce a decent ball! Vulcan, Franklin, and Dura balls are lightyears ahead of you.
Great to play

I love Joolas paddles but I want to warn customers against buying these balls. I played with them in the WPT tournament this weekend and even the organizers were apologizing for the ball. After 3 or 4 points it warps to the point of being almost completely unusable, I promise I am not exaggerating. Please avoid this ball and lets put some pressure on Joola to come out with a half decent alternative.

I just played in the WPT with this ball and I'm not just saying this but... I have never played with a worse ball. It warps to be nearly unplayable after 2 or 3 points, I swear I'm not exaggerating. I guess Joola just isn't putting an emphasis on making a usable ball but please do not listen to the other reviews on here haha. Just buy a Franklin or even a Selkirk. Even the organizers of the tournament were apologizing for how bad the ball was.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking forward to getting this. They are very light, so when you hit the ball, you didnt feel hitting the ball. And you don't have to hit it hard to go far. I really like using this when playing pickleball, thank you
Bright and sturdy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never played pickleball before but my husband and I have discussed checking it out so when I saw these coming for review I was very excited. The quality is great. The balls are very sturdy and stand up well to being hit and thrown around. My children have made sure to really test them out for me as well. The color is very vibrant so they are easy to see and difficult to lose. Very satisfied with this brand.

Played with a new 4-Pack for 1hr & 20min All 4 went out of round, wasn’t even playing hard the full time. Disappointing because initially the balls were awesome (first 30minutes)
Feels great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pricing seems very fair and they are quality. At first they do appear to have a seam, but after looking closer I think that the line is just from the way they were manufactured. No breaks yet, I expect them to last a long time!
Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Joola Heleus Pickleballs are very durable and great for my performance. The hardness and style is awesome and the easy hold for a serve is definitely a plus. Great value in either quantity you choose.
Best pickleball!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I started playing pickleball to get exercise. We have tried a few different balls. We tried helus hardcourt pickleballs by joola and boy are they the best balls for pickleball. They have the best bounce to them. They are nice and sturdy. They also can take a real beating and still stay in perfect shape. They are made in the USA, which is a big plus for me. Whoever designed these really knew what they were doing. Super product!
Super cool! 😎

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Influenster and the brand in exchange for my honest review. These pickle balls are so cool! The kids haven't stopped playing with them since we got them in. Super durable and lightweight, and my kids are tough on their toys, so that's saying something! Two thumbs up!
A great quality pickleball for any use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these pickleballs a few days ago. I will say, I am not a pickleball expert in what a good pickleball looks like, however, these appear to be solid quality. They are hard plastic material and appear to me that they will hold up well with use. I actually plan to use them to help my son practice with T-ball as well, so I would say they are a versatile ball. Overall, great appearance and durability with these balls.
Can’t wait

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heleus pickleball knows the needs of players, and inherent deficiencies in terms of ball construction, performance, and longevity. In addition, the Heleus pickleball is constructed using a polyethylene composite material, making it less affected in windy conditions, and is still able to perform consistently whether the on-court temperature is hot, or cold.
