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.
RPM Pickleball Jade Elongated 16mm
A spin- and touch-focused alternative to the Q2, not a universal upgrade. RPM lists a 112 swing weight and 6.2 twist weight. Our estimated DNA suggests a calmer soft game than the Q2, while the Q2 retains the stronger power/pop profile. Long-term SICmatrix grit retention has not been independently verified here.
