Verdicts
JOOLA Perseus POWER FX 16mm
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.
Proton Series Four (Project Roadrunner)
The exposed Kevlar weave is the story: it grips the ball like a fresh grit face but, unlike sprayed textures, it is the material itself, so the spin number does not decay over a season.
