JOOLA Collin Johns Scorpeus CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle

The JOOLA Collin Johns Scorpeus CFS 16 Pickleball Paddle is a pro-level wide body paddle built in partnership with Collin Johns and JOOLA’s top pros. Using the latest JOOLA paddle technology, this Scorpeus model blends a massive sweet spot, high spin, and explosive pop with the control serious players need at the kitchen.

At the heart of the paddle is JOOLA’s Carbon-Charged Surface technology. This additive bonding treatment strengthens the surface of the paddle, creating a crisper feel with greater energy return. The result is impressive feedback and a “poppier” response that helps you counterattack fast shots and finish points with authority.

The Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) uses a durable Carbon-Flex5 textured face that grips the ball for maximum spin. Combined with the Scorpeus sweet spot-optimized shape and wide 16 x 8 inch profile, you get a huge, forgiving hitting area that supports both aggressive drives and controlled resets.

Inside, a Reactive Honeycomb Polymer Core is tuned for high-level play, maximizing consistency of bounce and feel across the face. Hyperfoam Edge Wall technology injects foam into the perimeter of the paddle, adding stability, increasing the sweet spot, and improving edge-to-edge performance on off-center hits.

A fully carbon-framed design encases the paddle in carbon fiber for increased strength and durability, helping the paddle maintain a consistent playing feel game after game. The 5.25 inch Feel-Tec Pure Grip offers a tacky, comfortable hold with extra shock absorption for long sessions and high-intensity play.

USAPA approved and built to Collin Johns’ standards, the Scorpeus CFS 16 is ready for competitive play at any level.

On court performance:

Wide body control and forgiveness
The Scorpeus sweet spot-optimized 16 x 8 inch profile gives you a larger, more forgiving hitting area. It is ideal for players who want extra stability on blocks, counters, and digs while still being able to pressure opponents with pace.

Crisp, powerful response
Carbon-Charged Surface technology strengthens the hitting surface and boosts energy return, giving the paddle a crisp, lively feel. You get strong pop for counters and drives without losing the ability to place the ball with precision.

Spin and shaping
The Carbon Friction Surface with Carbon-Flex5 texture grips the ball tightly, enabling heavy topspin, slice, and sharp angles. This lets you roll dinks, dip drives at your opponent’s feet, and keep aggressive swings from sailing long.

Edge-to-edge consistency
Reactive Honeycomb core and Hyperfoam Edge Wall work together to stabilize the face and expand the sweet spot. Off-center hits feel more solid, so you can swing confidently even under pressure.

Comfort and feel
The Feel-Tec Pure Grip adds tack and comfort, absorbing shock and helping you maintain a secure hold throughout long matches.
