JOOLA Pickleball Paddle Shapes Explained

Perseus

Rounded corners at the top of the paddle, paired with an elongated profile, keep the sweet spot centered while extending your reach. This allows you to cover deep or sharply angled volleys at the non-volley zone and keep the ball in play without taking an extra step.

Kosmos

JOOLA's first hybrid shape blends the reach of the elongated Perseus with the maneuverability of the standard Scorpeus, creating a versatile option for players who want to drive from the baseline, counter at the kitchen, and transition smoothly into controlled net play.

Scorpeus

This standard paddle shape is JOOLA’s fastest and most forgiving. Great for doubles, the wider profile of the Scorpeus expands the sweet spot, delivering added stability on blocks, resets, and counters; key shots when less court needs to be covered, and more points are won at the net.

Hyperion

An elongated shape with an aerodynamic curved head lets the paddle cut through the air more quickly, allowing you stay aggressive at the net and cover more court. It offers extended reach and speed for players who love fast hands and quick reactions.

Agassi

With a tapered throat and enlarged sweet spot, this elongated shape suits players who strike the ball towards the top of the paddle, making it a natural fit for tennis players. It delivers reliable performance across the court, providing confidence on aggressive drives and touch for well-timed dinks.

JOOLA Pickleball Paddle Comparison

In April 2024 JOOLA introduced their new GEN 3 Technology to their popular pickleball paddles. The new Gen 3 JOOLA paddles feature their patent-pending propulsion core allows for explosive power on drives, counters, and speed ups, but with refined feel and control on resets, drops and dinks. The Gen 3 paddles utilize HYPERFOAM EDGE WALLs which is a specialized foam injected into the perimeter of the paddle adding weight and stability, increasing the sweet spot for consistent edge-to-edge performance.
