JOOLA BEN JOHNS HYPERION CFS 16mm Pickleball Paddle

f you have ever wondered what paddle Ben Johns uses, this is it. The JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16mm Pickleball Paddle is World #1 Ben Johns’ original signature paddle, designed in partnership with him and trusted in top level competition. Built to perform at the highest levels in control, power, and spin, the Hyperion CFS 16mm is USAPA approved for tournament play.

The elongated 16.5 inch by 7.5 inch Hyperion shape and Aero-Curve head design help the paddle move smoothly through the air, increasing swing speed and making the paddle feel like an extension of your hand. The longer shape also gives you extra reach for serves, drives, and volleys.

A Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) face uses JOOLA’s Carbon-Flex5 textured carbon to provide durable, long lasting spin potential. It grips the ball to generate heavy topspin, slice, and sharp angles while still harnessing plenty of raw power. Under the hood, a Reactive Honeycomb Polymer Core is tuned for high level consistency so the ball feels solid and predictable across the face.

Hyperfoam Edge Wall technology injects specialized foam around the perimeter of the paddle, adding stability, enlarging the sweet spot, and improving performance on off center hits. The CX-Forged carbon handle adds flex for extra power and comfort, while the Sure-Grip elongated handle features a perforated, anti slip ridge grip that improves hold and shock absorption. The 5.5 inch handle length is ideal for players who like or are developing a two handed backhand.

With a control rating of 94, power of 93, and spin of 95 (manufacturer ratings) and an average weight of 8.4 ounces, the JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16mm delivers a balanced blend of control, power, and spin for competitive players.

On court performance:

Control and power
The 16mm core and Hyperfoam Edge Wall create a stable, controlled feel while still delivering strong power on drives and put aways. The paddle rewards a full swing but stays predictable on resets, dinks, and blocks.

Spin and precision
The Carbon Friction Surface with Carbon-Flex5 texture grips the ball, making it easy to generate heavy topspin and slice. This lets you hit dipping drives, sharp angles, and precise drops that stay inside the lines even when you swing aggressively.

Reach and stability
The elongated Hyperion shape gives you extra reach at the kitchen and from the baseline, while the foam filled edge improves stability and enlarges the sweet spot so off center hits still feel solid.

Comfort and feel
The CX-Forged carbon handle adds flex and feedback, and the Sure-Grip elongated handle provides a tacky, anti slip hold with built in shock absorption. The 5.5 inch grip is ideal for two handed backhands and modern all court play.
