JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 3S Dual 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 3S Dual 16mm Pickleball Paddle is the latest evolution of JOOLA’s celebrated Perseus line, designed to meet the uncompromising standards of professional play. Created in partnership with world champion Ben Johns, this paddle combines tour-level precision with a refined, controlled touch. Engineered from the ground up to meet both UPA-A and USA Pickleball certification standards, it delivers the perfect fusion of feel, spin, and stability for players who expect nothing less than elite performance.

Built with JOOLA’s advanced 3S Dual technology, the Perseus 3S Dual 16mm introduces a meticulously tuned polypropylene Propulsion Core that strikes an ideal balance between responsiveness and forgiveness. The 16mm thickness enhances consistency and control, helping players absorb pace and redirect shots with confidence while maintaining enough pop for decisive drives and quick counters. Every impact feels clean and predictable, ensuring smooth transitions between soft play and powerful attacks.

The face of the paddle features JOOLA’s Charged Carbon Surface—an ultra-durable textured carbon layer that enhances spin potential and maximizes dwell time on the ball. This surface allows players to generate heavy rotation on topspin drives, controlled backhand flicks, and precise drops. The combination of texture and rigidity creates a stable yet lively response that rewards precise mechanics while maintaining a crisp, satisfying feel on every contact.

Adding to its dynamic construction is JOOLA’s TechFlex Power technology, which optimizes balance and responsiveness throughout the frame for enhanced playability. Players will experience steady control through extended exchanges at the kitchen line and reliable power when stepping into volleys or put-away shots. The elongated 16.5-inch shape expands reach without sacrificing maneuverability, while the 7.5-inch width ensures a forgiving sweet spot that responds consistently across the paddle face.

The handle—measuring 5.5 inches and wrapped in JOOLA’s Black Feel-Tec Pure Grip—offers a secure, ergonomic feel designed for comfort and performance. Its 4.25-inch circumference accommodates single-handed power play and provides the ideal base for controlled two-handed backhands. With an average weight of 8.0 ounces, the paddle feels balanced and responsive, giving players stability during high-speed rallies while remaining quick through transition shots.

Visually, the Perseus 3S Dual 16mm stands out with its dual-color gradient edge guard available in Teal and Purple, blending modern design with functional protection. The integrated edge guard reinforces paddle durability and stability, reducing vibration and preserving the structure for extended play. The inclusion of NFC technology in the handle provides access to JOOLA’s digital features, product registration, and exclusive content by simply scanning the paddle.

Certified for both UPA-A and USAP tournament play, this paddle is competition-ready right out of the box. It adheres to the latest professional standards, ensuring legality in all major events, including PPA and MLP competitions. Designed for advanced players who thrive on control and consistency, the JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus 3S Dual 16mm sets a new benchmark for feel, feedback, and finesse.

From dinks and resets to drives and counters, this paddle embodies balance, confidence, and precision—the true essence of what Ben Johns brings to every match. Built for professionals but accessible to any player striving for excellence, the Perseus 3S Dual 16mm redefines what control and consistency can achieve in modern pickleball.
