Overview
JOOLA identifies this as a Ben Johns signature edition within its Perseus Pro V range and lists the 16 mm configuration at an 8.1 oz average weight. This entry keeps that named configuration separate from the page's other published versions, including the 14 mm and Simone Jardim editions.
Construction and context
JOOLA lists a Textured CF surface and a PP Core + CF + EVA Foam core for the Perseus Pro V. The manufacturer also describes KineticFrame, Propulsion Core, and Hyperfoam Edge Wall technology. These are JOOLA's published construction terms, not independent findings about feel, power, spin, stability, durability, or ball response.
Who it may suit
This record may help a shopper compare a listed 16 mm core, 16.5-inch length, 7.5-inch width, 5.5-inch grip length, and 4.250-inch stated grip circumference against other named paddles. It does not determine individual fit, competitive eligibility, or on-court suitability.
Specifications in context
- 16 mm core thickness
- This is JOOLA's stated configuration thickness, useful for comparing catalog records but not a guarantee of a particular feel or outcome.
- 16.5 in paddle length and 7.5 in paddle width
- These are the manufacturer's listed footprint dimensions; they identify the configuration but do not establish handling or reach for every player.
- UPA-A and USAP certification statements
- JOOLA lists both certification statements for the Perseus Pro V. Confirm current rules and event policy because approval and eligibility are time-sensitive checks.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- The listed 8.1 oz figure is an average weight rather than an individual-paddle measurement.
- JOOLA notes that the published grip circumference may vary slightly.
- Certification statements and event requirements can change; verify the current governing-body rules and exact product listing before sanctioned play or purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Does this page test the Perseus Pro V 16mm?
No. It reports manufacturer-published specifications and does not claim hands-on, court, or laboratory testing.
Is the 8.1 oz weight exact for every paddle?
No. JOOLA labels 8.1 oz as an average weight for this Ben Johns 16 mm configuration, so an individual paddle may not match that figure exactly.
Where should current certification details be checked?
Start with the linked JOOLA product page, then check the applicable governing body's current rules and approved-equipment information for the event.
