Today, we’re diving into a hot topic in the pickleball world—JOOLA’s new paddles. Specifically, we’re looking at their latest release, the JOOLA Perseus Mod-T.A. 15 Pro Player Edition. Some say it’s a game-changer, but others think it might be ruining the sport. Let’s break it down!
So, what’s the big deal with this new paddle? The JOOLA Perseus pushes this boundary, and some players argue that this could create an uneven playing field.
This is the problem: The Propulsion Core adds miles per hour of velocity on the ball. They tried to fix the paddle to pass the approval process by removing the grit on the surface, but they kept the trampoline like surface inside.
So, is JOOLA’s new paddle ruining pickleball? Without a doubt, after playing in a local round robin last weekend where the winner had one of these paddles, we think that the answer is clear. On one hand, innovation drives the sport forward. On the other hand, it’s crucial to ensure that these advancements don’t compromise the core values and accessibility of the game.
The Profit P2 Air Paddle is made with a durable core where you still have to swing to get some velocity on the ball and a legal amount of grit to keep the ball in control. This will keep you playing at an advanced level without the corked bat effect.
