Verdicts
JOOLA Hyperion Pro V 16
The elongated sibling to the Perseus Pro V, and the drive paddle of the pair. Extra reach and plow-through turn third-shot drives into finishable balls, but hand speed at the kitchen is the trade.
RPM Pickleball Q2 Elongated 16mm
RPM's Gen 4 full-foam Q2 trades the Friction Pro's honeycomb feel for a firmer, more powerful response. The published 114 swing weight is lighter than most elongated power paddles, while the 6.1 twist weight is on the low side for the shape.
