The JOOLA Perseus 3S Dual Ben Johns Pickleball Paddle brings pro level performance to players who want clean, consistent contact and the freedom to choose their ideal core thickness. Built on JOOLA’s proven Perseus shape with 3S Dual technology, this model is available in both 14mm and 16mm versions so you can dial in the feel that best matches your game.
Designed from the foundation of the JOOLA 3S lineup, the Perseus 3S Dual goes through extensive quality assurance to meet current UPA-A and USAP standards. The textured carbon fiber surface, pro level build, and Ben Johns signature design make it a serious paddle for competitive players who rely on control, stability, and spin under pressure.
The Perseus 3S Dual delivers clean, predictable feedback that shines on drives, blocks, and high speed exchanges at the net. The longer 5.5 inch handle with JOOLA’s Black Feel-Tec Pure Grip offers a comfortable, secure hold for both one handed and two handed backhands, while the 16.5 by 7.5 inch frame provides a modern all court footprint.

On court performance:
Control and forgiveness
The Perseus 3S Dual line is built to deliver clean, predictable contact. The 16mm option leans into control and forgiveness, making resets, blocks, and dinks more consistent, while the 14mm option keeps that same predictability with a firmer, more direct response.
Power and pop
With 3S Dual technology and a carbon surface, both thicknesses provide plenty of power when you accelerate through the ball. The 14mm version offers a bit more raw pop, while the 16mm version gives a slightly softer launch for players who like to swing big but keep the ball in.
Spin and placement
The textured carbon fiber face grips the ball so you can roll topspin, add slice, and shape sharp angles. Whether you choose 14mm or 16mm, you get the spin you need to pressure opponents and control depth on thirds, drives, and counters.
All court versatility
The standard Perseus shape (16.5 x 7.5) and 5.5 inch handle make this paddle a natural fit for all court players. It is quick enough for kitchen battles, stable enough for blocking pace, and long enough for players who like or are learning a two handed backhand.
Who this paddle is best for:
-

-
