JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus CFS Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

The JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus CFS Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle is built for players who want pro level performance in an elongated, all court weapon. Designed in partnership with World #1 Ben Johns, the Perseus combines a charged carbon face, high quality carbon fiber, and a honeycomb polypropylene core to deliver power, spin, and control at the very top level of play.

Available in both 14mm and 16mm core thicknesses, the Perseus lets you choose the feel that best matches your game while keeping the same trusted Ben Johns shape and tech:

• 16mm version

  • Thicker, more stable core

  • Emphasizes control, forgiveness, and a softer, more connected feel

  • Great for resets, blocks, and players who like to take big swings and still keep the ball in

• 14mm version

  • Thinner, faster core with more pop

  • Adds extra ball speed and a crisper response off the face

  • Ideal for aggressive players who want easier put-away power and quicker hand speed

The elongated 16.5 inch by 7.5 inch paddle shape gives you more reach on serves, drives, and volleys, while the tuned sweet spot provides a blend of forgiveness and precision for play at the kitchen and from the baseline. At an average weight of about 8.0 ounces, the Perseus sits in the middleweight range, providing a solid balance of stability and maneuverability.

Charged Carbon Surface Technology strengthens the hitting surface and increases energy return, giving the paddle a lively, “poppier” response while maintaining a connected feel to keep your shots on target. The carbon fiber face adds grit and durability, allowing you to generate spin and shape on the ball for third-shot drops, rolls, and passing shots.

Inside, a honeycomb polypropylene core is tuned for a consistent bounce and feel across the hitting surface. The long 5.5 inch handle with a standard 4.25 inch grip circumference is perfect for players who like a two-handed backhand or come from a tennis background.

USAP approved for tournament play and backed by JOOLA’s 6 month warranty (with registration), the Ben Johns Perseus CFS is ready for serious competition and high level rec play alike.

On court performance:

All court power and reach
The elongated 16.5 inch shape and balanced middleweight build give you the reach and leverage to pressure opponents from the baseline and finish at the net. Drives, serves, and overheads carry strong pace, while the sweet spot provides confident feedback on contact.

Spin and control
The carbon fiber face with Charged Carbon Surface Technology delivers high spin potential and a crisp, controlled feel. Roll topspin, carve slice, and shape angles while still keeping the ball inside the court when you swing aggressively.

Customizable feel
Choose 16mm for added control, stability, and forgiveness, or 14mm for more pop and a quicker response. Both variants use the same Ben Johns Perseus shape and tech, so you can switch thickness without changing your overall profile.

Built for serious play
From the core and face to the long handle and pro level sweet spot, the Perseus is designed to perform on center court as well as at the local rec center. It is a strong choice for experienced players ready for a high end JOOLA performance paddle.
