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 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.
