Verdicts
JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV 16
The Perseus formula in a shorter, faster body. Control 90 and spin 90 with a 112 swing weight makes this the easiest Gen 4 JOOLA to swing.
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.
