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 Two Project Flash
The grittiest face Proton has made. Spin 92 puts it in the top tier of the database, and the hybrid shape keeps it usable at the kitchen line.
