Joola Ben Johns Perseus CFS

The Perseus CFS 16 is designed to balance both. Its 16mm reactive honeycomb core provides the stability and touch needed for control, while the charged carbon surface adds the pop and spin required for aggressive power shots.

The elongated shape increases your reach at the net and provides extra leverage for two-handed backhands. It is ideal for players who prefer a longer paddle to cover more court space, though it may require a slight adjustment if you are used to a standard, wider paddle shape.

The Hyperfoam edge wall is injected into the perimeter of the paddle to expand the sweet spot. This means you will experience more consistent performance and fewer mishits, even when you make contact near the edge of the paddle.

Yes, the handle is 5.5 inches long, which is specifically designed to accommodate a two-handed backhand grip comfortably. It provides plenty of room for both hands without feeling cramped.

The charged carbon surface is textured to grip the ball upon contact. This allows you to generate more friction, resulting in increased spin potential for both heavy topspin drives and precise, dipping dinks.

At 8.35 ounces, this paddle falls into the mid-to-heavy weight category. This weight provides a solid, stable feel that helps drive through the ball, though players who prefer an ultra-light paddle might find it slightly more substantial.
