The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion C2 CFS Pickleball Paddle takes the original Hyperion blueprint and layers in JOOLA’s latest control and power technologies. Built for the game’s top player, this C2 model combines the trusted Hyperion aero-curve shape with a Charged Carbon Surface and Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) face to deliver explosive pop, heavy spin, and trusted control.
The elongated 16.5 by 7.5 inch Hyperion shape offers extra reach for serves, drives, and volleys, while the large sweet spot keeps contact feeling solid and predictable. A fully carbon-framed design encases the paddle in carbon fiber for increased strength, durability, and more consistent performance over time.
JOOLA’s Charged Carbon Surface Technology strengthens the hitting surface and increases energy return, giving the paddle a crisp, lively feel with a “poppier” response on drives and counters. The Carbon Friction Surface uses an advanced Carbon-Flex5 textured face that grips the ball for maximum spin.
Inside, a Reactive Honeycomb Core is tuned for high-level play, helping to smooth out off-center contact and provide a consistent bounce and feel across the face. Hyperfoam Edge Wall technology injects specialized foam along the perimeter of the paddle, adding stability, enlarging the sweet spot, and improving edge-to-edge performance.
A Gray Feel-Tec Pure Grip wraps the 5.5 inch handle, offering a tacky, comfortable hold with built-in shock absorption so you can swing hard without sacrificing feel.
Available in both 14mm and 16mm core thicknesses:
-
16mm version

On court performance:
Power with control
Charged Carbon Surface Technology and the reactive honeycomb core work together to deliver strong, easy power without feeling wild. The 14mm variant leans more into raw pop and ball speed, while the 16mm variant adds a touch more control and stability for players who want a bigger margin on resets and blocks.
Spin and shape
The Carbon Friction Surface with Carbon-Flex5 texture grips the ball firmly, allowing you to generate heavy topspin, slice, and sharp angles. This helps you bend passing shots, dip drives at your opponent’s feet, and keep aggressive swings landing inside the court.
Reach and stability
The elongated Hyperion design and Hyperfoam Edge Wall provide extra reach with a large, forgiving sweet spot. The foam-injected perimeter adds weight at the edges for better stability on off-center hits and more consistent performance across the full face.
Feel and comfort
The Gray Feel-Tec Pure Grip offers a tacky, comfortable hold and added shock absorption, while the aero-curve head design reduces drag and keeps the paddle feeling quick through the air.
