Great performance
I love this paddle. The surface is just scratchy enough to affect contact with the ball and the slightly rounded end is perfect for reaching.

We’re glad you’re loving the Hyperion CFS 16mm. Its textured surface and rounded shape are designed to help with ball contact and reach, so it’s great to hear those features are working well for your game!

Great paddle for intermediate players
I am an intermediate player trying to jump to the next level 4.0. This paddle is a great tool for that as it has the ability to develop good spin as well as power. It is slightly longer than the beginner paddle I have been using which helps with power from the baseline but also provides more dwell time to help with controlling the ball at kitchen line.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that the JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle is helping you elevate your game from intermediate to the next level. The combination of spin, power, and control sounds like it’s making a significant impact, especially with that extra length for baseline power and dwell time at the kitchen line. Best of luck with your journey to a 4.0 level!

Seriously great paddle
What an excellent paddle. Extremely well balanced, very comfortable to hold/grip. The mount of power and control this paddle offers is extraordinary. Serious and great value for money.

Not worth if its break after two months
I had this paddles for two months and in the game handel broke cost to high for two months of playing and did get back not even half of $$$$

That's tough to hear. Out of the box our paddles have a 6 month warranty which can be extended to 12 months when you register the paddle via the embedded NFC chip (if there is one in the model you purchase). I can't speak to your specific situation but in certain cases when paddles are sold at a discount they might be sold as final sale when we do not have the inventory left for replacements.

Ben Johnson Joola paddle is average.
Bought the Ben Johnson paddle to replace my Selkirk beginner paddle to improve my game. With the textured surface and “superior” paddle structure I expected more control and improved power. I have experienced neither. The “feel” and performance are no different than my beginner paddle. Needless to say I am a little disappointed.

Love this paddle.
A bit heavy but adds power and takes the shock of oncoming balls.

Great paddle
Bought this paddle not really knowing anything about it. I sure did get lucky with my choice. Great control and power. The paddle is very forgiving with a huge sweet spot. It has improved my game so much.

Great Paddle! So glad I got it before it sold out!
My boyfriend bought this as a hybrid paddle, he has two others which are a control and a power paddle. He ended up giving it to me after seeing me play with it, he said it was the perfect paddle for me and honestly I agree! I have more control over my balls and even though I have the arm of a softball player it adds that extra power I could use.

So professional!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, this pickleball paddle is very cool. I look like the pros! Most of all, I like how this paddle changes my game and gives me all sorts of fancy spin that I certainly didnt have before. Im a big fan.

Great Racquet!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been playing pickleball for a little while now, and up until recently I had been using a more generic racquet when playing. I'd had a friend tell me about this Hyperion CFS 16 racquet, by Joola, so decided to try it. And I'm glad I did. Nearly immediately I was able to get more control and better speed on my shots, and that lead to more points. So I was getting teamed up and sometimes winning before, now I find I'm on the winning team much more, and I'm scoring more points. It's definitely lighter than my last racquet as well, so much easier to hold for long playing sessions. So more power, more control, and more wins, it definitely has me liking it and I'd recommend to others as well. I really didn't think a new racquet could make such a difference, but make that step up to a really good racquet like this one, you'll be glad you did.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice paddle. Great design, light weight, strong grip and slick durable design. My wife and I both are able to use it. We’re both beginners at the game and have tried other paddles but this is both of our faves!

Great grip
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ben John’s Hyperion Pickleball paddle is outstanding! It holds up very well and allows you to have a very good grip. The handle is very comfortable and doesn’t slip. The shock absorption is great and allows for me to be ready for the next hit. The quality is amazing and I’m super satisfied with this product. If have never played Pickleball then you must and this is a great product to buy.

Incredible power!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this racket because I wanted one with a little more power. The carbon fiber construction and the 16mm thickness were strong selling points and I haven’t been disappointed. Joola is a quality brand and I own other of their rackets and have always been satisfied. This Hyperian is no exception. It’s really helped me improve my power game while maintaining accuracy. I highly recommend it.

Great Paddle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hyperion CFS 16 16mm Black paddle is a fantastic paddle for my pickleball obsession. The quality of the paddle and the size and weight are perfect to make my pickleball go to the next level. Using this paddle almost makes me think I'm the #1 player in the world when using Ben John's signature paddle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BEN JOHNS signature pickleball paddle was collaborated closely with the world's #1 player to design his awesome concept on what makes the perfect paddle. The result is a racket that gives aggressive, offensive players every technological advantage over their opponents. I found it to be lightweight, ergonomic and effective. I suffer with carpal tunnel and until this paddle I haven’t been able to enjoy the sport I so love!

Review from a novice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure that I am a novice at pickleball. I play for fun and fun only. This paddle is great! It's great for the court, and I have zero complaints. I'm a right-handed, female who is 5'4. The weight and size both felt good to me.
