When we want to dominate matches with strategy, but demand put-away power at the right moment, we reach for the JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm Pickleball Paddle. The key to this paddle’s delicate balance of control and power lies in what we like to call the “trifecta of pop”. This trifecta consists of a 16mm Honeycomb Propulsion core, a Hyper-Foam Edge Wall, and a new Tech Flex design. The Propulsion core responds upon impact for powerful pop and cushions with every strike for a smooth feel, while the Edge Wall adds plow through ability for forgiveness and an expanded sweet spot that we know we can trust. Completing the package, Tech Flex utilizes a narrow frame throat inside of a foam-filled external wide throat that combines to add pop through flex without sacrificing stability.
Now that we covered the poppy aspects of the JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion Pro IV 16mm Pickleball Paddle, it is time for the controllable aspects to shine. At the heart of this paddles control is a Textured Carbon Fiber hitting surface that compresses the ball to increase dwell time, while simultaneously gripping it to promote spin that helps us keep our opponents out of position. Additionally, the 5.5” handle leaves room for a second hand on backhand for more control, while boosting reach so that we can dominate with slams from the kitchen line.
