Perseus CFS 14

Lightweight, comfortable handle, much more precise return. Great replacement for very used paddle. I was surprised how much difference this replacement paddle made. My old paddle had some “dead spots” I probably should’ve replaced it a year or two ago. Now I have much better control getting the Pickle Ball. I got a great price on Black Friday, but not sure I would pay full price.

If you're serious about your pickleball game, this paddle is nothing short of phenomenal. Its superior build quality offers excellent durability, ensuring it withstands intense matches. The paddle provides an exceptional grip that feels comfortable even during extended play, reducing hand fatigue. The precision control and balanced weight distribution allow for powerful shots and fine maneuverability, making it ideal for both offensive and defensive strategies. Whether you're executing quick volleys at the net or strategic baseline shots, this paddle enhances your performance, giving you a competitive edge. Highly recommended for players looking to elevate their game.

Love this paddle. I play pickleball 5 days a week and have been quite pleased with this paddle. It replaced the same paddle that I bought 13 months ago, that seemed to be damaged when I played with it outside when the temperature was 37° (who knew?)

For casual and competitive play it is perfect. A great balance of power and control. Lightweight enough to where you can still swing it fast comfortably. The grip is standard and has a cool looking design. I’ve only played with it once and already love it!

Excellent combination of control, spin and power. I like it a lot and it definitely helped me with my game. However, I would appreciate if Joola would ship it in more secure packaging and would have included a sleeve. When you are paying so much for these paddles then these are some basic things that you expect.

Took a chance and bought this paddle to replace a higher end one I've been using over a year. Like this one much better and cost me $90 less than my other one. I'm not a power player but has power if that's what you want. I'm a fineness player who spins, lobs and uses different speeds to hit the ball. Gives me the control for my style of play!

The JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pickleball Paddle has certainly stirred up excitement in the pickleball community. As an enthusiast of the sport, I had to put this paddle to the test and share my thoughts on its performance, features, and overall value. Pros: 1. The Ben Johns Signature Design collaborating with the world's number one pickleball player is no small feat, and this paddle shows attention to detail. It's tailored for aggressive players who seek an edge in their game (9/10). 2. The innovative charged carbon surface technology offers a crisp feel with enhanced energy return. The poppier response and ball feedback elevate the gameplay, giving you a noticeable advantage (8.5/10). 3. The fully carbon-encased construction boasts remarkable strength and stability, making it suitable for aggressive play. This design choice ensures the paddle's consistency throughout its lifespan, which is essential for serious players (9/10). 4. The specially engineered shape of the paddle creates a larger sweet spot, contributing to enhanced accuracy and control. This feature is particularly advantageous for players aiming to finesse their shots (9/10). 5. The Feel-Tec Pure Grip is an excellent touch. It offers a tacky handle that helps maintain a firm grip, even during intense rallies. Additionally, its sweat-absorbing capabilities add to the overall comfort during play (8/10). Cons: 1. High Price Point: One significant drawback is the price. While the paddle offers cutting-edge technology and features, the cost might deter some players from investing in it (6/10). 2. Weight: At 8.0 ounces, the paddle might feel slightly heavy for players accustomed to lighter options. This could impact maneuverability, especially for those with specific playing styles (7/10). So, here's the scoop: This Pickleball Paddle is like a pro-level tool for your pickleball game. It's got all these awesome features that make you feel like a champ on the court. The big sweet spot, super grip, and tough build are all major pluses. But, and here's the catch, the price is a bit high, and the paddle's a touch heavy. Should you go for it? Well, if you're a dedicated pickleball player who wants to level up their game and doesn't mind shelling out some extra cash, this could be your secret weapon. But if you're just starting or want something lighter on your pocket, you might want to explore other options. Keep slaying on the pickleball court, and remember, it's all about having fun while you're at it!

I purchased this on sale and it was a great value. I'm an advanced beginner and was looking for a paddle to grow with me. Chose this after playing with a few Joola gen 3 paddles and liking their feel, but wanting something a little less pricy. I also did a lot of research online and this paddle got consistently good reviews. I immediately loved the long handle (5.5”) with slightly less girth than other paddles I'd been playing with. I do not have big hands and didn't play two handed so I didn't think the length would make much difference to me, but it felt more comfortable right away. The grip gets tacky as you sweat and helped me keep my hands light on the paddle. I did end up adding an overgrip after a little while just to protect the original grip from dirt. At first I found this paddle to be a little too poppy for my play style and ability. I ended up adding tungsten tape at the neck and sides which has given me more control. I really enjoy the way this paddle plays now that I've customized it to my preferences. I have enough pop & power for my needs, but also a good soft game. The elongated shape gives me a little more reach and the aerocurve shape has worked well for me. I'm very happy with this paddle and expect it to last until I'm ready to move up to the next gen in a year or so.
