JOOLA Perseus POWER FX 16mm verdict
JOOLA’s first full-foam paddle on the familiar 16mm Perseus shape at $179.95, built for effortless power. Comparable swing and twist weights are not published, and every DNA trait is an editorial estimate.
Six Zero Quartz Control verdict
A control build in the Double Black Diamond tradition, only lighter and quicker. Twist weight and sweet spot are the standouts; power is deliberately mid-pack.
The verdict
Comparable swing and twist measurements are not verified for both paddles. DNA scores are estimates, not laboratory results; compare construction, fit and price rather than a numerical inertia winner.
