Verdicts
JOOLA Perseus Pro V 14
The 14 mm Pro V trades the 16 mm model's dwell time for the highest pop score in the Perseus line. It is a speed-up paddle for players who already have hands.
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.
